About Me

I have keen interest in english literature as I have been in this field since a decade. I have taught at a senior college and I am now pursuing my PhD in English literature. I like dancing and painting along with travelling an learning about new cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My PhD topic is based on South Asian Queer diasporic writers in Canada, for which I need spend a fair amount of time doing research in Canada. Therefore, as a student it is best to stay with the locals and have a good know-how of the place along with affordability.
