About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to be able to have conversations in all the languages I keep trying to learn!

PHILOSOPHY

Make no assumptions and be compassionate. You don't know the reasons behind people's words or actions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed a couple of couches in Europe a few years ago, with my friend, Kimmie. I learned how to play the saxophone, had personalised tours from my hosts, shared meals with families and was welcomed to parties. Lovely.

Am yet to host, but looking forward to when I can...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I sang and accompanied myself on guitar at the wedding of one of my best friends. In front of 200 people.

And didn't forget the lyrics.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach... How to make easy Gujurati shaak (curry), i can play some guitar so i can teach you as much as i know!, i am happy to help with English, i know a little Gujurati, a little Hebrew, a little German, how to do a cartwheel?, most importantly though, how to make perfect rice!

Learn... at the moment I really want to learn the saxophone and how to do a backflip! I love to learn how to cook new dishes, play new songs, speak new languages, dance new dances...
