A 27 year old, who loves to travel and see new places. Mountains are my soul place, and cities exhaust me. I love reading, writing and photography - and exploring new places only feeds all my interests. I grew up in Zambia, a beautiful country in Africa, till i was in my teens when I shifted back to India. I feel there is no better way to make your life worthwhile than to explore the Earth and be kind to her for all the beauty she's given you. And that's what I do.

I work as an environmental photojournalist and Editor with a magazine. I also work on freelance assignments often.

In my free time, i enjoy reading, cooking vegetarian fare, some gardening and just chatting with my close group of friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet more people like me, and to see everything the world has to offer.

Interests

I'm fairly good at photogrpahy, and i love exploring how photographs and words weave together to form beautiful stories. I wouldn't call my writing poetry, but somewhere along those lines ! I currently work as a Photojournalist and reporter with a magazine in Mumbai. I have so far been on two Himalyan treks and a cycle tour in India, and am waiting to go on more.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm not much of a fan of music, though when i do listen i prefer melodies over rock. I love watching mystery thrillers, and sometimes a good horror film. Books also follow the same genres - I read Tess Gerritsen, Michael Crichton, Dan Brown, and of course, Harry Potter is an all-time favorite!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Nothing yet!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach - Perhaps my language? And photography too.
Learn - Anything! A new instrument, language, books, your culture, your city's lifestyle, food, where the rivers go and what birds sing in your city.
Share - My experiences so far, I guess!

A good time showing you all that my city has to offer, while you narrate your own city's tales to me. :)
