About Me

After a few years of travelling and living in different places I found a home in beautiful Sheffield, where I am currently completing my PhD studies. I love being here, even the weather, which thought me an appreciation for the cold (I could have not believed myself saying that a few years back).

I would describe myself as open minded, curious, and sociable. I like being physically active (cycle, climbing, run), meditate, dance Salsa, or learn something new (currently French and playing the Tabla), and so much more. I am enjoying a long and deep conversations as much as short chats. I believe that speech is just a means of communication and connection goes well beyond.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interests

Traveling or living in different places has been so far one of the most rewarding things as I've learned so much more about myself and got exposed to many new perspectives. I learned new languages, saw many incredibly beautiful places and got new directions and possibilities for my life.

Music, Movies, and Books

That question always gets me uncomftable because I don't know how to answer it. The concept of anything favourite is one I struggle understanding.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volunteering for 18 Months in a school for Hindustani (Indian) classical music in rural southern India. That was a good few years ago now but it has truly impacted who I am and how I look at the world.
