I'm currently pursuing a bachelors degree in applied arts and I like to do street photography and visual storytelling, I enjoy meeting people from different cultures and having meaningful conversations.

I enjoy doing photowalks and heritage walks around Varanasi, exploring the city through stories, architecture, and everyday life.

If you’re interested in a private photowalk or heritage walk, I can help arrange one with my friend (who has a Master’s in Art History) and me (currently studying art history). We focus on meaningful storytelling, local context, and authentic experiences — not just sightseeing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a local in Varanasi, I enjoy meeting travelers and showing them the authentic side of the city. I believe cultural exchange should be genuine and respectful. just real conversations, shared experiences, and good energy.
