I'm a native New Yorker who's always down for some interesting conversation about anything. I have a strong memory so I'll probably remember all the little details if we cross paths again. I'm an aspiring environmental engineer who hopes to make the lives of the people around me easier through my work and my ability to be present. Friends describe me as compassionate, intellectual, open-minded and a good listener.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm always looking to make new friends. I'm currently living with parents in queens so not able to host yet but I believe I know a little here and there about the city and can share something new with travelers.

Interests

Environmentalism, yoga, gardening, tv shows, podcasts.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a lot of hip hop and R&B. I'm open to any music suggestions you have!
I'm not very good with movies but it all depends on my mood. I'm always in the mood for Julie and Julia.
Currently reading The Emperor of All Maladies: A biography of Cancer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was a garden apprentice at the Brooklyn botanic garden where I learned as much as I can about urban gardening in the concrete jungle we call NYC.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to speak in bangla, use a sewing machine, a few keys on the piano, the little nooks and crannies of NYC because I've lived here for all 20 years of my life, and anything science related because I can be a nerd.
I'd love to learn more about music. Who's your favorite artist? What's your favorite song? Convince me to also fall in love with your music.
I love doing yoga with friends and experiencing new places to eat.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My love for NYC and the best, not-touristy places to be.
