I am a visual artist, did my post grad in design and taking a break before my new job. I love to do sketch walks in the places I visit and I always travel with my sketchbook. Pandemic was a forced break from travelling and now I am happy to be back on the road. Very passionate to discover new culture, food, folk music and native musical instruments . Meeting new people and exchanging stories, philosophy and music have been the best things I gained from travelling around.

I have done a handful of art exhibitions this year in my country and abroad. I believe that discussions on art and music always brings in a sense of joy and wonder.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did my first international art exhibition this year at Liverpool, England.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach fellow CSers street sketching and basics of human figure drawing. I could tell you the story behind my art.
It would be great to have a music jam session or two if you happen to have a guitar at your place.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We could share lores from the depths of our cultures, share tales and myths from the places we belong.
I could share my sketchbooks and would love to make an artwork for my hosts.
