I've been living in Melbourne, Australia for the last 6 months and am now travelling around for about 2 months before heading home in January to continue my undergrad degree.

I love nature, and I frequently visit the national parks. My favorite things to do are to hike, run, bike, kayak, read, and cook. I enjoy going out with friends as well. When traveling, I like going to museums, trying the local foods, and viewing the different flora/fauna relevant to the area. I am studying mathematics at my university, but I love learning about all subjects so feel free to tell me about your studies/your job!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled to a lot of USA national parks, Hiked the Tour Du Mont Blanc, lived in Australia for a year.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you all about the national parks in the USA, and I have been to most of the cities as well! I know a ton about the country of Australia, since I lived there for a year, so I can teach you about the education system, politics, and the different cities. I can also teach you a lot about Indian culture too.
