Now that I have your attention, I have no idea what to do with it.
I guess I'll start with introducing myself. I'm Shivani
It took me like five minutes to write this much, please appreciate the effort and let me stay @ur place.

Seriously though, I've lived in India all my life (for my life story, please see Slumdog Millionaire). I absolutely love teaching and will seriously bend over backwards to help you. My other passions include stalking cute dogs, reading, dancing, writing, creating stuff, and burgers. Notice how this did not include writing intros.

I'm on both ends of the spectrum: cheerful and bubbly yet silent and reflective, analytical yet silly, funny yet lame. But I am always nice, and always in the mood to explore :)
I have a quirky sense of humour and dislike formality. My favourite places are parks, art galleries, tiny cafes, and nature trails.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I'm cheap and don't want to pay for enriching experiences.
Just kidding! Or am I?

I love travelling and meeting new people, and I truly feel that couchsurfing provides a unique way to connect with the populace and place that regular touring would not permit; it adds a different sort of vibrancy. It's an amazing way to get new friends with widely different experiences and to help others out. Besides, money should never limit your exploration of the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Does existing count?

Bungee jumped from 233 metres (764 feet) when I was 12.

Performed a Bharatnatyam (Indian Classical Dance) solo for two hours, which marked my transition from a student to a dancer.

Volunteered as a teacher at an orphanage for two years.
