Overview
About Me
Currently doing an experiment of working remotely abroad :)
Travelled to 40 countries, 50% of them solo.
My favourite place was Kyrgyzstan!
I have English, Italian, and Bengali heritage and I grew up in London. I studied politics, philosophy, and economics at university and now split my time between travelling, tutoring, and an internship in sustainability.
I've recently taken up life drawing! Other than that, I love to try new food and get lost in strange places!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love meeting new people and swapping stories. It's amazing how vast the world is and how broad the gamut of one's experience can be when we are all made up of the same cells.
