Hello! I am Ramnath, a conservation educator. Using the visual medium, I help children build empathy and understanding towards India’s natural heritage and complex environmental issues. You can look at my collection of photographs, stories, writings from travels across India in my website www.ramnathshekar.com

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Because, I like to meet people, listen to their stories and experience different cultures. Starting from the end of January 2018, I will be on a barefoot tour to a few countries in Asia (Sri Lanka, Singapore, China, Thailand and Indonesia) to listen how people connect with nature. I'm looking to meet people through this journey.
