CURRENT MISSION

To meet people and see the vast beauty the world has to offer

ABOUT ME

I just completed my studies at the university studying Public Health and International Development. I love learning and experiencing new things. For as long as I can remember I have had a great interest in learning about other cultures and people. I like to see life not just sights. I find beauty in everything around me and enjoy the grandeur of temples and sunsets but never overlook the simple beauty of a bird taking flight. I love reading and hiking, exploring, swimming and listening to people's unique life stories.

PHILOSOPHY

What we have is not for us to hide but to give freely to the world

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I listen, I ask, I learn and I encourage.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In the past few years I have offered my couch to many surfers but sadly was leaving off the beaten path and was unable to host many. On the other hand I have been able to couchsurf around the world and LOVE IT. To be able to stay with a family and share a day with them in conversation is a priceless experience. In India I cherished the nights spent chatting about common and separate beliefs, desires, and daily life. The relationships formed mean much more than any souvenir you could purchase.
