Hi, I'm Tuba, a journalist from Chennai currently working in Paris - a city that is now home. I love beaches and most of my holidays are spent lazing around on a beach -- or discovering a new city, especially the old parts of town. I love learning languages and exploring new cultures and cuisines. I'm a history buff and love music and sport. I can talk endlessly on politics, sustainable development and art and culture :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Classic rock music is homecoming for me - other than that, I enjoy jazz (still loads to discover), classical music (Indian and Western), and indie music and of course, Bollywood :D

Movies: Have watched all the Avengers movies (and other superhero films) countless times and on the other spectrum, love crime thrillers, drama and artsy movies - big fan of animation flicks.

Books: Went through a serious phase of exploring contemporary Japanese literature - from Murakami to Kawabata. Currently read: Reading Lolita in Tehran by Azar Nafisi.
