About Me

Travel, music and driving are some passions that describe me. I have been a vegetarian since birth and YES, I have had loads of delicious food. A lively and a fun person always on the look-out to make new friends, experience different cultures and create lifelong memories!

I was on an exchange program and spent some crazy 6 months, living in Madrid and traveling around Europe. Some of my future dreams are exploring the world, being an Entrepreneur and living my life on my own terms!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best form of travelling takes place when cultures interact, ideas exchange, and connections are built beyond domestic boundaries. All of which is not possible amidst the walls of hotels .

CouchSurfing has brought together a great community of travel enthusiasts and open minded people and nothing can be better than getting to know them and their stories.

Interests

I have been the head for Mood Indigo, Asia's largest cultural festival and curated it's concerts, inviting most of the Bollywood stars and a lot of international celebrities to perform. Music is like medicine for my soul.
