Overview
About Me
Open minded, always thriving to learn and update myself.
I am a history geek, love reading it. Wildlife enthusiast. Learning Piano.
I like doing experiments with cooking. I come from Surat, a city from India have the historical reference for the food and cuisine. An old saying in Gujarati (my mother tongue), "Surat nu Jaman ane Kashi nu Maran", means "food from Surat and Death in Kashi" to have the best for one's soul. I am addicted to super tasty food which makes me cook up to that standard :p
I am grown up in a city where life is very much lively and full of zeal. People live today as there is no tomorrow. It is deeply engraved in my personality.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Love chitchatting with new people!
In Sanskrit there is a saying ''अतिथिदेवो भव'' in English it means 'The guest is equivalent to God'. It is part of my culture ;)
