CURRENT MISSION

To be the only PhD student to run marathon in all 7 continents :)

ABOUT ME

I am adventurous, looking out for opportunities to be out in nature. I quickly get bored with life in concrete jungles, so seek open landscapes, wide spaces, blue skies, wide horizons etc. I like to exchange experiences and learn about other cultures. I have an appetite for new flavors (as long as they are vegetarian) ..I am a creative person, and always enjoy a company with good sense of humor.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a PhD student in Marketing. Whenever time permits, I like to run, travel, read, talk, write, and play.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have visited a few couchsurfers and hosted one. It has been a great experience by far. I look forward to knowing more people and cultures. I like the fact that unlike travelling alone, CS gives me an opportunity to see the everyday life in a city and their citizens. Much better view of the culture than through books or solitary explorations.

Interests

I love being out with lively people, exploring new vistas, unexplored natural views, traveling. Pushing myself to try new things, is also what gives me joy - it can be anything from running long distance to trekking, to river rafting to a night in a new culture. I love reading about human behavior, language, biographies, humor and almost anything that catches my eye. I also write regularly about the things that move me. Love listening to rock, classic to progressive to alternative.
