A bit of me.

Serial traveller Vs. Compulsive conservationist.

A freelance Content Writer for Digital Marketing by profession and an active citizen science contributor for wildlife conservation by passion. Being a certified wildlife volunteer, my call for conservation comes first. Once I am in and out of core forest areas for estimates, counts and surveys, I range the diaspora of the region, acquainting with the culture, cuisine, crafts, communities, music and arts.

I am a climate conscious person living my life and traveling with minimal carbon footprints. I practice reuse and recycle/upcycle. Every consumerist decision/action has a big impact on the Earth. I have a minimalist approach towards life and believe in the power of slow living. I dote on my trysts in nature and wildlife, where I am completely cut off from civilisation for some time. Needless to add, the encounters are indescribable beyond words.

While on the fields in no network zones, I may not be able to respond to hosting requests. True travelers with a penchant to trespass undivulged territories are welcome, while I am around home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Every guest brings his part of the world and his experiences in travel on the table. I look forward to the learnings from exchange of ideas, outlooks, perceptions and cultures, paving ways for trust, open mindedness and acceptance by bridging gaps, crossing borders, breaking barriers of not limiting travel to a certain class or gender, creating seamless contacts, transcending countries and continents, solidifying secularism enroute, all built on the premise of one tenet; travel, explore, seek, delve into the unknown.

Couchsurfing is a spirit that rises above all social frontiers and economic enclosures.
