You'll find me at the climbing gym, flipping through Japanese flashcards, or lost on my motorcycle... probably with the gas needle close to E. I'm happiest when every day is a bit different and love getting to know people beyond the day-to-day chatter. Started Brown People We Know, an interview podcast with South Asian Americans taking non-traditional paths. I've interviewed a chefs, death metal guitarists, and even a PhD Chemist-turned-priestess. The show won a Lion Share award and is still on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc. One of the coolest things I've done!

Почему я на Couchsurfing
Travel always appealed to me most when I could really stay and experience a place as opposed to just quickly squeezing in all the tourist sites. The Couchsurfing community seems like a great way to give / get the former! I love hosting because I get to meet interesting people that teach me something new about where they're from or sometimes about my own city! Depending on the week I might not be able to hang out and show you around but I will let you know in advance. You're always welcome to join me if I'm headed to the climbing gym.
Музыка, кино и книги
Books: The Alchemist, Siddhartha, Atomic Habits (yet to master this one). Movies: Wolf of Wall Street is my fav. But comedy and mind-bendy movies (think Inception) are my fav. Music: Thomas Rhett - Die A Happy Man, Drake - Look What You've Done, any EDM.
Одно удивительное, что я сделал
The thing I'm most proud of is taking my own path through life and taking the time to explore. I grew up in an immigrant household and was on-track to go to medical school, etc. Instead, I've had a variety of jobs and found time for a lot of interesting hobbies that have changed the way I see the world.
Учить, учиться, делиться
Learn: Would love to learn more about where you grew up and a bit about your life. One of my favorite books is Trevor Noah's Born a Crime, because of how I got to see South Africa through his lens. Or teach me about your hobbies! Teach: Let's go climbing! I live minutes away from a climbing gym and it's one of my favorite things to do.
