Hello 👋

I'm a Software Engineer based out of Seattle, WA. I grew up in India and moved to USA in 2018.

I've been fortunate to travel to 10 countries and 400 cities so far. When I started traveling in 2015, often times I struggled to find accommodation that would fit in my budget.

During one of those travels, I've decided that when I am able, I will host travelers at my place. So here I am. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My solo trips have always been amazing. Recently I spent 2 weeks in Mexico working remotely which was an interesting mix of travel + work.
