I grew up in New Delhi, the capital of India. However, I've always been away from home while pursuing my bachelors, masters and now PhD. Having been exposed to an eclectic mix of people and lifestyles in India, I hope to expand my horizons in this giant melting pot (US) through travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Big dreams of travel but a tiny budget! Grad students don't make heck of a lot. More importantly, the best way to truly experience a place is with people who live there. I've seen that people end up doing more than just the regular touristy stuff through Couchsurfing! Moreover, what better time to 'couchsurf' than when all my belongings can fit in a bag-pack!
