About Me

I am an environmentalist by profession and feel the need of being sustainably conscious. I lead a simple life trying to live with the minimum. I am passionate about being green.
I am extremely fond of cooking and therefore in search of new recipes and ingredients.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing makes me feel " The world is my family".
Definitely, it is one way to reduce cost. But more than that it allows me to explore a new place like my own. Having someone you can consult regarding suggestions, directions gives you a totally different view of a new place. I get to connect to the true understanding of local culture and mindset of people.
