About Me

I think the world is shrinking and people should travel to understand different cultures and peoples perspective. CS offers a unique forum to meet interesting travels and hear their perspective.

I had the opportunity to live in 3 different continents growing up and that gave me an understanding to different cultures. One of my favorite things is to take fellow travelers for a run in SF and show them my city. I am also a huge art fan- Miro and Escher are my favorites.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

SF is an expensive city, we all know it. I was a student once and I know its expensive to travel. I had friends and family who let me crash in their house and this is my way to pay it forward. If it appears that the request is a generic request I am probably not going to respond. Please mention the word Pluto in your message if you want me to respond.
Also my place is not a hotel which means that I do want to hangout with my guests. I don't want the interaction to be a quick dinner or seeing you before I leave for work for 10mins. Ideal guests would explore SF during the day but should plan to hangout in the evening.

Interests

I am primarily a researcher in Statistics. I love reading about the history of the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

My all time favorite is Pink Floyd!

At the moment, I am enjoying The Sympathizer. My favorite book has to be 1984.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swam in the barrier reef in Australia
