ABOUT ME

I study political sociology. I am interesting in the study of different forms of social inequalities (like racial, caste-based, religion- and gender-based inequalities).

I grew up in India, studied in France, the US, and Lebanon, and was living in Tunisia for research. I love learning languages, hearing stories from people, mythologies, and debating politics.

PHILOSOPHY

Listen, listen, cook and listen!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been couchsurfing for more than ten years now and every meeting that it has brought me to has been a lesson on living for me. Be it living in a date oasis with goats in Douz in Tunisia to the extravagant hospitality of a bee-keeper in the Alps of Italia. It has been my travel with couch-surfers that has made me think about my own ways of life and see how beautiful living is when shared with people
