A journalist, baker, and food geek. Not necessarily in that order. :-)

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

Meeting people from a host of cultures vastly different from the one I was raised in, and making some friends along the way.

Would love to accept guests in the future, but sorry I can't at this stage since I am in a rental homestay arrangement.

Intereses

I love reading (culinary history, food culture), visiting interesting, lesser-known old places in Bombay on weekends, and savouring every delicious food experience that the city has to offer.
Exploring cities and towns on foot with no real plan or agenda. Especially love that Kiwi word I have learned from my last year spent here - tiki tour!

Bake and cook well. Can make a mean batch of brownies and meringues.
And hearty, coastal Indian seafood curries and pan fried dishes :)
Love reading about and learning to cook different foods from around the world.
