Hey! I’m Banashree from India. I’m a freelance digital artist with a big love for traveling, tasting new foods, and discovering different cultures. I’m not too drawn to the typical tourist spots unless they’re truly special — I prefer to wander off the beaten path when possible and soak up the real vibe of a place at my own slow pace.

I’m not the best storyteller myself, but I do try 😅— and I really enjoy listening to other people’s travel stories or anything interesting they have to share.

I feel most content when I’m savoring fresh, healthy food, going for a walk or hike, or sitting in a café with my sketching device, music in the background, or having a good, deep conversation.

I am also open to volunteering, including house or pet sitting, helping with household chores, managing social media, creating content, create basic e-commerce websites( Shopify, not an expert ) or online shops for selling crafts, and can teach art and/or English—particularly if my visa allows for a longer stay—in exchange for extended accommodation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Although I created my profile a while ago, I only started using this app recently, and now I can’t imagine traveling without it. I absolutely love how it helps me connect with locals, immerse myself in their culture and lifestyle, explore places like a local, and make amazing new friends along the journey!

Music, Movies, and Books

My taste in music really depends on my mood — I usually enjoy soft, calming tunes, but I also love electronic music and anything with some cool beats. I adore all Studio Ghibli and some Disney movies, or really any film with a captivating story. I also never get tired of documentaries about animals — they never disappoint.

An intermediate swimmer and would greatly appreciate your help in becoming more comfortable in the water and improving my skills.
