I am a very simple person, straight talk and never wants to hurt anyone in anyway, nor I think BAD of anybody. I am trying 'unlearning' of many things learnt over all these years, and also trying to be a good, unjudgmental listener. I am not talkative, am a silence lover. I am a vegetarian, and a jain food eater, and am not a foddie. Any food is just ok for me. But, yes, I love Mumbai Pani puris. I am trying to lead zero waste lifestyle as much a s possible and I am an environment lover. I also love to cycle, but, a ladies one and not very heighted. I love mountains, rivers and water is my attraction, especially flowing water.

I always wanted to explore things like Drama, Theatre, Travelling, Music, free dance, swimming and so on. But couldn't ever got the guts to explore them. I was literally afraid of 'what people will say', 'what will happen' etc. But since past 7 years, more after I met communities somewhere related to 'unschooling mind', I am slowly trying UNLEARNING this 'fears'. So, now I want to explore solo, unorganised, low cost travelling, working with children in theatre, dance drum circle, cooperative games, and so on.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel to places with nature. I dont like to stay in hotels. Also, I want to stay with locals more, so that I can meet new people, experiment with different mindsets and know about different culture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I didnt ride bicycle outside my compound for almost 30 years. And then suddenly, I felt the call to join a Cycle journey. I literally didnt know anyone except one, we carried no mobile and no money, and, we traveled on hilly roads to villages around Udaipur district and semi high ways. And on top of that, I literally fell down several times while stopping and getting off, or, breaking the cycle.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach languages Kachchi, Gujarati, Hindi, Marathi or English. I can talk n teach Linguistics. I can teach croshet, basic sewing, basic hand embroidery, computers fundamentals, basic math. I can also start some community games, community songs and community activities.

I want to learn manjira, harmonika, want to dance freely, learn and explore drama - theatre.

I can share stories of my life, and can be a very good listener.

What I Can Share with Hosts

May be I can accompany them to site-seeing places with nature in and around Mumbai. At present, I can not host anyone at my house. I can accompany them for food, but preferably to Vegetarian places.
