Hello! I am from India, presently working in KAUST, Saudi Arabia as a researcher. I am just beginning to explore Couch Surfing. I travelled a lot in India, Southeast Asia, and South Korea (where I also worked and lived for an year) as a backpacker and like to explore the Couch Surfing way of traveling. Visited a bit of USA.

I enjoy nature and outdoor activities. Cooking is something I relish very much, more so when I cook for others. Movies were once a favorite pastime, but not much of a music or party person. I do not drink alcohol, do not smoke or smoke-up. I don't know who wrote the following couplet. I saw it at a tea bar in Darjeeling, India.

Come and share, a pot of tea...
My house is warm, and my
friendship is free... 😊

I am extremely interested in conversations. I could keep talking for hours about anything with anyone. My conversations somehow end up becoming philosophical, though lol!

PS: I am not as scary in person as I might look in pics 😀
