ABOUT ME

I am easy-going, respectful and happy guy :) I was born and raised in India and I moved to Chicago in late 2011 for my MBA. Since, I NEVER stepped out of my home country for the first 26 years of my life - I am making up for the lost time.
I have been travelling extensively over the last year and intend to continue doing that.. I have been fortunate to meet amazing people and have memorable experiences along the way. I am hopeful that CouchSurfing platform will only make this journey better!

PHILOSOPHY

Live, Laugh, Love... and stay in the present - rest will fall in place :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am very new to CS but am hoping to get involved actively.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet except for small get-togethers in Milan. Its a great platform to connect with very interesting travelers.

Interests

I enjoy learning about different cultures. Consequently, I travel, learn new languages, make friends from different countries and experience life as they do. Beyond this, I love dancing, and dancing as though no one is watching; just for myself. I play field hockey, volleyball, soccer and ride my bike a lot. I also enjoy Opera, ballet, music, art and philosophy and astrology.
