About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Want to start ticking off my long list of places to visit in the next 2-3 years.

ABOUT ME

Love learning new things and travelling to new places. i'm usually very patient with people and adapt well to any kind of culture/environment that I might be in. I love getting a glimpse of various cultures through people across the world. I love to eat and walk around when in a new place!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm relatively new to CS. Looking forward to indulging in it as much as I can and hosting or hanging out with as many people as I can :)

Interests

I spend most of my free time either reading or listening to music. Mostly, I read fiction and I can listen to anything except heavy metal!
Every 2 months or so wanderlust strikes and I start craving for a vacation. I love getting away from the daily grind, then again who doesn't!
Currently I live by the coast so I try and spend at least a day by the beach every now and then.
