Looking to meet up with travellers from other countries (regardless of gender or age group) as my intention to be on this platform is to get to know people from different parts of the world, learn about things & cultures that are new to me. Wouldn't mind meeting up with female Indian travellers though, would love to hear your stories!

Indian men travelling to my city for whatever reasons, please refrain from reaching out. I am genuinely not interested. I have enough friends to hang out with. Please don't spam my inbox. You guys freak me out.

About me- I am a textile and fashion designer by education, Business Development Consultant by profession and traveller by passion. Fortunately, I could find a nice balance between my education and passion in my profession.
So I have a fulfilling life!
I have founded my own brand for bespoke rugs & carpets, named Studio Esotery and I'm enjoying every bit of being an entrepreneur. I have been traveling solo eversince I was 21.
I have always been interested in trekking, travelling, adventure sports, art, music concerts, nature conservation and animal welfare.
I am a hands-on street animals rescuer from the past 6 years, mother to 9 cats, part time artist, full time dreamer and a sucker for solo travels.

If you are a genuine traveller willing to know about me, then please read the references.
My super awesome surfer friends have described me much better than I could have had. :)

P.S. I use Couch surfing ONLY for Couch Surfing experiences. Please don't treat it as a free Airbnb nor as Tinder. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet different people from different countries, cultures and social backgrounds..

I believe that the people add more value and beauty to the places; not just the landscapes and infrastructure.
I might not be able to see every inch of this planet in this lifetime but through couch surfing I can meet people from every corner of the world, listen to their stories and that's how I plan to see the world!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are plenty! In a life of a traveller, there is no scarcity of such experiences! But if i have to mention, then there are two-
1- I have been attacked & bitten by 300+ honeybees while rock climbing, ran down 50 ft of straight rock only holding the nylon rope which practically melted my palms but survived to tell the tale!
2- Planned am impromptu trip to Nepal, took a 24 hour bus from Delhi to Kathmandu. But when the bus crossed the border Nepal was closed for a day. Spent 12 hours in a tiny village. Only to reach Kathmandu in the middle of the night next day after total of 47 hours, pheww! Longest bus journey ever!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach my surfers to cook simple Indian food and chai.
I can offer you travel tips to make your travel easy in my country. And when I have time I can even show you around my town and the local places which aren't a hit on your map :)

I would love to learn your recipes and basic words/ sentences from your language!
It would be even better if you can enlighten me about anything you have knowledge of, e.g. cultures, traditions, history, places.

P.S. I have ukulele at home. So if you can play it and teach me a bit it will awesome!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a storyteller like my father!
So, if we are on same page, I can offer unlimited cups of chai, home made food, simple place to sleep and lots of stories!
But it has to be a barter; I would love to listen to your adventures more!
