Hi, my name is Prem Kumari. I live in Florianopolis, Brasil, now. I’m brazilian, and 50% japanese.

I’ve being a nomadic for a few years, living mostly in ashrams around South America and India. I’m trying to stay rooted in India now, lets see how long I can take it lol

I’m a scorpio with sagittarius, moon in taurus. So I’m dedicated to spiritual life, I work with tourism and I love arts in its infinite expressions.

Pretty easy going, very open minded, queer by heart, usually flexible and quite adaptable. I love deep talks about existential topics and also having good laughs. I’m very respectful with others space and time. I like to be very organized and chilled, got tired of rushing and tired of the heavy party life too (unless its a very fine dnb dancing night, or jazz, or almost anything from the 70s, 60s, 50s... hahaha). I’m crazy about (good) movies. I don’t watch tv for over a decade now, but I do watch Netflix, of course lol

I’m a vegetarian, I practice bhakti yoga, I don’t drink alcohol nor take any type of “drugs” since I started with my spiritual life. But I’m cool with other peoples choices. The most important is to be happy.

“All you need is Love”

I organize and guide spiritual tours in India. Check out my ig @IndiaToursInbound :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m new here, but I have many friends doing CS, so I thought “why not give it a try?”
I like to get real experiences on my trips, learn about local culture, food, language and history. I travel a lot and I love to see the places from a locals eyes perspective. And also share my experiences with others.

There is a special magic about getting to know some one new who is also willing to know about yourself. That sparkle!
