I work as a development practitioner, mainly around NGO partnerships and volunteer engagement. For the past few years, I’ve been involved in building and supporting international volunteering opportunities between France and India. A big part of what I do is helping young people step out, get involved and feel more connected to the world.

At the core of it, I’m just someone who wants to do work that feels meaningful and has a real impact, even in small ways.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

A conversation with a friend once shifted how I look at hosting. From then something simple that stayed with me, that this platform doesn’t just take you places, it brings the world to your home. That idea really stuck.

Since then, I’ve come to enjoy the whole experience of sharing space with people from different walks of life. I’m always up for a good conversation, and I genuinely enjoy hearing about your journeys and perspectives. At the same time, I understand everyone travels differently, so whether you feel like chatting over a cup of tea or just having your own quiet space, that’s completely fine. My aim is simple... To help you feel comfortable and at home.

Музыка, кино и книги

I really enjoy lo-fi music... it has this calming effect that helps me slow down and reset. I also have a small collection of books around self-development, money management and startups. I like picking up ideas from them and reflecting on how they apply in my life.

When it comes to movies, I’m not too analytical... I just enjoy a good visual experience and let it be what it is.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

I’m drawn to a bit of adventure and that occasional adrenaline rush. Over time, I’ve managed to try a few things like paragliding, scuba diving, snorkeling, surfing, MMA, learning guitar even paintball. There have been a few close calls too (almost drowned once), which only made the experiences more real and memorable. Still feels like there’s a lot more out there to try, and I’m looking forward to adding to that list.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

Since I work closely with volunteering and social impact spaces, I’m also happy to share or guide you if you’re curious about any volunteering opportunities around here.

Чем я могу поделиться с хостами

I live in Pondicherry in a small but cozy apartment in a safe, well-connected neighborhood.

It’s a 2bhk place, and I can host up to two guests in the guest room. You’ll have a clean bed, fresh linen and access to the kitchen if you need it, please feel free to use the space comfortably. I’m also happy to help you plan your time in Pondicherry, whether it’s places to explore, things to do, or just sharing a few local tips to make your stay better.
