ABOUT ME

***We host and reply to only those with hosting experience and references***

*** No personal friend requests. ****

I am Sonya and I live with my husband. I am an ex pilot and spent many years globetrotting now into fashion and garment entrepreneurship. He is a surgeon, percussionist, rhythm guitar player and a polyglot. We both have lived many years abroad in various countries and like to mingle with people across the world. We share common interest of developing friendship with people with different ethnicities, cultural background and always eager to learn from them. We put ourselves as an easy going, extremely open minded, "non conventional" , well placed professionals who believe in ancient Indian philosophy - "Athiti Devo Bhava" (Sanskrit: Guests are equivalent to that of God).
My work involves a lot of creativity in making indian / formal/casual garments. We are highly active in making kids clothings with style.Highly professional and equally guest friendly .

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Both of us have an avid interest in meeting people and cultivating friendship with people all over the globe. Couch surfing gives that brilliant opportunity. The bestest thing about Couchsurfing is that its a great unifying concept that is really making the cross country borders fade away. It provides that wonderful non commercial entity that's built on absolute trust, faith and having a good heart to help each other especially travellers across the globe.
