About Me

Currently I'll be traveling to Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Hokkaindo Japan, and Brazil in 2015.

I try to enjoy side-trips as I travel the world for work. Aiming to learn Spanish, and get back to skiing.

NASA engineer turned MBA. Indian Cowboy: parents from India, born in NYC area, raised in Texas.

Perpetual itinerant: after graduating from university, I've never lived in a city more than 2 years: Houston, Dallas, Boulder Colorado, San Francisco, Austin Texas, Pittsburgh, and now moving to Atlanta.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've met up with local CS'ers for drinks/touring a city when traveling. Host visiting CS'ers.

Hoping to meet more people as I travel, and share the USA with those visiting.

Interests

I love food, especially Latin-inspired cuisine . I have my own barbecue smoker and invite my friends over frequently for barbecue parties with smoked brisket, pork ribs, and other meats.

Skiing, mountain biking and other outdoors sports. Economics & finance.
