Overview
About Me
Hi Guys! Unfortunately I can't host anyone at the moment as I don't have a place of my own and have travelling plans all throughout the year but in the future I would love to :)
I would be traveling to :

South Africa in June 2016
North East of India - August 2016
Spiti -Leh - September 2016
October - Madurai 2016
Japan in November 2016
December ? (Not decided yet)
About me
I would like to consider myself a global citizen, of whatever modest travelling I have done, I was lucky to have the opportunity to meet some amazing people who just reminded me no matter how different we are in terms of ethnicity, language or lifestyle ... We all connect with people over the same simple stuff for example food , music, experiences etc. The more I travel, the more conscious and aware I become ... and I don't think I will ever trade this experience for anything.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
The best part about traveling is meeting new people and hearing their stories, this kind of platform definitely gives you a chance to interact with likeminded as well as people you would normally never interact with coz they are so different from you. Personally for me, getting different perspective on different subjects is the best way of learning and also breaking stereotypes that mainstream media feeds you.
I plan to travel this year (2016) and would love to meet some people along the way.
Interests
I am interested to explore places, people, culture and volunteer for causes while I travel. I enjoy yoga, meditation, and a good conversation over a hot cup of tea.
Music, Movies, and Books
Music : Oasis , Coldplay, Ellie Goulding, Carly Ray Jepsen, Shankar Tucker, Vidya Iyer
Books: Stuffed and Starved (Reading at the moment)
Movies : Cowspiracy, Earthlings, Animal Inc
