Overview
About Me
// An Appreciator of Slow Travel //
✨✨✨
I'm an architect from Mumbai who's embraced student life once again in Italy! With a passion for design and an eye for detail, I find inspiration in exploring new cities and understanding how different cultures shape their built environments. My background in architecture gives me a unique perspective when traveling - I love analyzing urban spaces, historical buildings, photography and how people interact with their surroundings.
When not buried in work, you'll find me with a camera in hand, capturing the essence of places I visit. I'm particularly fascinated by how maps tell stories about places, and I enjoy creating my own maps of memorable journeys.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I believe the best way to experience a new place is through the eyes of locals. I'm here to connect with like-minded people who can share their favorite hidden gems, architectural wonders, and authentic local experiences. Beyond tourist attractions, I want to understand the soul of each city I visit - the neighborhoods where real life happens, the stories behind buildings, and the cultural nuances that make each place unique.
