I am a Dubai-based writer and reader, with over a decade of communications experience across a host of industries. I grew up in New Delhi, India, and have travelled to more than 15 cities outside India across 7 countries. Planning to double these numbers this year!

I am fluent in English and Hindi and am currently learning Spanish.

Curious about the world. Voracious reader. Like to be up and about. Passionate about inclusion and empathy.

I have been hosted by outstanding hosts in London, Bath, Manchester and Zurich. Never hosted before because I never had a space that could allow me to host.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet and host travelers in my city, have interesting experiences, learn about new cultures, and find company during my travels.
