I spent my childhood in a beautiful place called Gokarna@Karnataka, India, surrounded by western ghats on one side and the Arabian sea on the other. I am greatly influenced by the nature and the abundant diversity around which made me a very curious person.
Currently I am pursuing PhD @ Indian Institute of Science Bangalore, India. I am interested in nature, science, philosophy, psychology, teaching, travel, sharing and connecting with people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am interested in travelling and exploring the culture of the place I visit. I feel staying with a local person will give more opportunity to explore and understand the local culture.
