I'm Surekha, currently based in Mumbai, India. I am a magazine journalist-turned-business owner (I own a skincare brand). Ambivert through and through so I adapt very well. We call it "adjust" in India.

Love learning new languages, about new cultures, meeting new people! Whenever you're in India, hit me up and I'd be happy to host you and/or show you around.

Travelling in the US until the end of September 2023

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The culture of Couchsurfing is very interesting to me because I am still very new to it. I'm hoping to meet some incredible people and hear their stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trekked a total of 6000 steps in 4 hours to and from the Living Root Bridge Waterfalls in Eastern India, near Cherrapunji.

Almost became Miss India in 2013 (That was interesting haha!)

Learned how to ride a scooter (moped) within 5 minutes from the guy who rented it to me in Goa, India (Shoutout to Sunny Shirodkar). It's not a big deal to people but it was to me lol Wouldn't recommend unless you have a proper license.
