Taking a gap year after finishing my research on environmental sustainability and circular economy coming focusing on waste trade.

Here is my research video if you are interested : (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dUfE_eUot68&pp=ygUVS2F1c3R1YmggdGhhcGEgd2FzdGUg).

I left Nepal, my home country when I was 17 years old, and have been on the road ever since studying, working and/or traveling.

Easy going, friendly, and respectful. I try to live in the moment, by that I mean with intention and trying to be as attentive and mindful as I can. I prefer nuanced, contextual and experience-based conversations to sweeping generalization and trite dualism. I am also happy connecting in silence.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
