About Me

A lover of travel and literature, I love spending my time in different cities soaking in their culture and literary offerings. I am fun and happy-go-lucky with a love for quick wit as well as deep conversations about anything under the sun. Generally reserved, I prefer interacting with a few people but making these relationships worthwhile although travelling I've realized does help bring me out of my shell a lot more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Starting 2016, I have vowed to take a trip a year atleast starting September, 2016 where I will be visiting Budapest, Prague, Vienna and Krakow. During my travels, I am looking to connect with other travelers and locals who would be interested in traveling together.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite Book: 1984 -George Orwell

And my favorite poem is "Guilty of Dust" by Frank Bidart.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teh one amazing thing I have done is to work with the headmasters of rural government schools in a small village in Rajasthan from 2011-2013. For a month and a half I lived without any money with local people in the community and in exchange for staying with them in their house, I helped them out by doing chores in their farm like helping out in the fields, milking the cows etc. This experience was extremely humbling and taught me so much about the value of human relationships beyond the transactional nature of interactions we indulge in these days.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Would love to share my love of literature, music and poetry with my hosts and ofcourse offer help with some chores and share household expenses like groceries etc. for the duration of my stay.

Countries I’ve Visited
