Overview
About Me
I am an architect and interior designer. An entrepreneur who is hustling to create her signature in a excessively competitive world and who loves to explore cities, people, cultures and lifestyles in her free time. I have been travelling all over India ever since I was a kid and have recently started travelling alone.
I am a natural extrovert who craves cultural exchange.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Being in a new city can be quite overwhelming, especially when you are travelling alone. I wish to be here for all those who are visiting Mumbai for the first time, and l make friends from all over the world whom I can trust when I sprint through the cities on my bucket list!
I have grown up in Mumbai and know each and every corner of the city by heart.
I will enjoy meeting up to take you to the best places to eat, party and relax, while also giving you an authentic experience of living in Mumbai as a local. We can have day trips to my favourite, absolutely untouched, non touristy places and eat some really good Indian food.
Interests
I am a blogger in my spare time and I often take inspiration from my travel experiences. I keep pushing myself out of my comfort zone to try a new experience and learn from it.
I am also a hobby artist and I often sketch scenarios that catch my eye, on the way as I explore a new city. I have a keen interest for dramatic and intense still life photography. So when out travelling, I try clicking pictures that depict the essence of the place I am visiting and portray the very vibe through the capture.
