I am 30 years old, figuring out life, while enjoying moments of happiness and excitement along with way. I was born and brought up in India and moved to Oxford for postgraduate studies. I am now based in London, braving the dark gloomy skies. I love travelling and exploring lesser-known things about places and their history.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I want to be a traveler and not a tourist! Visiting any place is incomplete if you don't interact and gain insights from the locals and this is the best way to do that.

I have couchsurfed before and had the opportunity to stay with some very gracious hosts.
