A habitual traveler and an obsessive foodie, I am currently working in the boisterous city of Hyderabad as a researcher, always on the lookout of meeting great people and joining on an adventure. Born and brought up in Delhi, educated in a school along the foothills of the Himalayas, and having lived and studied in 2 other countries, I have been lucky enough to make lifelong friends from different walks of life. However there is so much more to see, learn , live and share, (and eat!!!), and what better time to start other than now?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To experience and understand other cultures through the eyes of a local, and in the process, meeting amazing friends from different walks of life. To be able to learn from others, and share whatever knowledge and skills i have, and in once sense, to do justice to my profession of geography :).

Interests

TOP 2 - Cooking (especially learning how to cook new cuisines), and bicycling (anywhere, everywhere).

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach - I would love to teach whatever little I know about vegetarian Indian dishes for cooking. I would also love to teach anyone looking to learn hindi, english or basic iyenger yoga.
Learn - recipes from around the world (preferably vegetarian), mandarin (both spoken and written - conversational in basic mandarin, but forgetting day by day due to lack of conversation)
I am a big fan of learning languages in general, especially basic enough to pass through small local towns. I have dabbled with basic portugese and spanish, and recently started learning bahasa indonesia while on a solo trip across the country.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to share whatever I can knowledge wise about various things with my hosts. I would also love to contribute with other chores such as helping to cook. I am extremely accommodating, and although it might be tough to list, but I will help and share in whatever way I am capable of to ease the burden on my host.
