CURRENT MISSION

Live an authentic life where I can follow my dreams and use my talents to bring joy and make the world kinder.

ABOUT ME

I like a lot of different things which is also why I'm a freelancer who works as a communications consultant, podcaster, trainer, career coach and event moderator. As a remote worker since 2022, I'm using my freedom to travel while working so I can experience different cultures, have unforgettable experiences, meet kindred spirits and eat delicious food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have one life and I want to make the most of it by building connections, experiencing different cultures and having diverse experiences.

Interests

I love those serendipitous conversations and meetings where you meet someone and it feels like you've known them forever, where conversations flows, you share stories and feel connected. There are so many things I love, like: singing, dancing - Salsa, bacchata, merengue, folk dancing, Scottish country dancing, Bollywood dancing etc, art and culture - everything from open mic nights to opera and walking tours. I'm obsessed with travel obviously and have visited over 55 countries. I LOVE delicious food, especially spicy food.

Teach, Learn, Share

I was the co-founder of Work Ally, a community of women that dream big and empower each other to get the careers and lives we deserve. I am a financial independence and career coach and trainer on all things linked to self fulfillment and getting meaningful careers. I'm also an anti-racism activist, abolitionist and intersectional feminist who has lived and worked in UAE, Malaysia, Kenya, Belgium, Austria, Turkey and Colombia.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love talking about my culture and the experiences I've had living in Dubai and Belgium and being raised Indian. I am someone very easy to talk to since I'm genuinely curious. I can help you discover your passions, talents and what makes you happy through my coaching experience. Since I'm an activist, I have learnt and unlearnt a lot about oppression and liberation which I can share. I really enjoy experiencing food and culture together and I'm a singer!
