About Me

Before you send me a request please read the My Home section...
Now, about me:

CURRENT MISSION

I have the choice of being constantly active and happy or introspectively passive and sad. There is almost no in between for me, no staid and plain days just yellow sun or dark blues...

ABOUT ME

I know pretty much what I like and dislike but i am very easy going at the same time and accept people for who they are. I believe that is the best way to be comfortable and make others comfortable around you.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in karma

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i believe that travelling is a healing experience and in a country Like India it is more so. however, many of us are aware of the issues and problems that women have to face when they travel alone . hosting women....its just a humble attempt on my part to make my city safer for them to be in, or at least a part of it.

ofcourse i also host men and i have to say that i have made very good friends along the way.so guys, don't feel neglected but i am sure that even you are aware how difficult it is for women to travel in India alone..

Interests

I really love tango although i dont know too much and am moderate a dancer...
otherwise i love to cook and fill my time doing all kinds of things..
I will say that i am a feminist but i would love it if people did not judge me just by the term itself but based on my ideas of feminism that i live by and believe in. feminism is not about bashing men you know...
