When I realized engineering was not my cup of tea, with a book and camera in my hand, I started exploring places and people, taking pictures and penning down stories of my journeys. I’ve never been happier and realized this is where I belong and is what I wish to pursue. The fact that I can converse and connect with the world through different forms of media excites me and that is what I do best. I work as a copywriter for an advertising agency as a full-timer; as a freelancer, I take up digital and visual branding projects. Photography, art and travel are my hobbies that fuel my creativity. Scroll through my instagram (swathiruchira) profile to read my stories. So far, I've traveled to Hampi, Mumbai, Lonavala and Karjat in Pune, Sikkim, Agumbe in Karnataka, Gokarna, Goa, Bhutan and a few other places in and around Hyderabad.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I aspire to travel a lot in the future, meet interesting people, know their stories, cultures and make friends around the world. I want to explore every place as authentically as possible. What better way to do this than meet locals, stay with them and listen to their stories?

Interests

For me,travelling is like a way of education rather than just a vacation. I love meeting locals when I travel, know about their lifestyles, cultures, views and learn from them. I'm into bird photography, adventures and love to blog about my journeys.
