ABOUT ME

Hello all! My name is Haresh and I'm a recent transplant to the SF Bay Area. I was born in Hawaii, raised in Orange County (Southern CA), went to college in Northern CA and now I've relocated to the East Bay in Oakland. I'm into all kinds of music. I really love jazz music that I started teaching myself to play the trumpet about 6 years ago. I listen to everything, but not much country, just the old country music.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently I have a small love seat the living room but plenty of floor space if you want to roll out your sleeping bag in my living room. I have a pump up thermal insulated air sleeping pad that you can use. Also, while traveling I try to stay at fellow couch surfer participants. I like meeting new people from all around the globe to learn their cultures and their perspective of life. I am looking forward to meeting all you that I happen to cross paths with. :)

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

When ever I was in an engineering class.
When I've traveled to developing countries to see garbage and trash everywhere such as India and Dominican Republic.
To see people from other countries do some of the same things I do such as going to the gym, going to school and living life in some ways makes me feel connected to them even though if we do things differently. We're all human beings.
