English, Français, Deutsch and हिन्दी (Hindi)

Hey I'm currently a Conference Interpreting student (edit: I was! Now I teach French for a living!) in Paris (now in Mumbai!). It has been a wonderful learning experience, but at the same time, extremely challenging. I was unable to do much besides my studies for over 2 years. But now I'm back and whenever possible, I'll make time to host/meet you.

My last trip lasted 3 months, was in Eastern Europe and the Balkans before moving back to Mumbai after having lived for 6 years in France. I'm still at a crossroads in life and this trip has so far been such a wonderful experience! Hopefully it shows me the light at the end of the tunnel.

Bonus points if you write to me in any of the languages you and I speak other than English, especially German!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Afin de profiter le maximum de mon petit séjour en France, à Rennes.

To meet people of different nationalities which in turn enables me to get a broader outlook towards traveling and life in general!

Pour maîtriser mon niveau de français en rencontrant / hébergeant des français / francophones !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

J'ai commencé à apprendre le français aux étudiants de mon université quand j'étais en deuxième année de mes études. D'abord cela était à temps partiel, mais plus tard, pendant ma troisième année j'ai rempacé une professeur dans un lycée pendant un semestre.

Hitchhiking in Goa and Chandigarh.
Trekking and hiking in the mountains in Himachal Pradesh.

A lot more, I assure you ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a strong base in English grammar and have been learning French as a foreign language for over 2 years now, so I can gladly teach or help practice these 2 languages!

I am learning to prepare some Indian dishes before I move to France and thus I can therefore teach them to others.

I have done internships in Content Writing, Social Media Marketing and International Relations, so I will be happy to share my knowledge in these domains!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Ready to help you with anything and everything, be it accompanying you to a general store or helping you at your workplace.

I'm ready to adjust, not looking for any comfort whatsoever.

I could also bring you something from India if you inform me in advance!
