I'm a software engineer by day (and quite often by night as well) but love doing as many things away from my computer as possible. I'm a foodie, I love traveling, and when those two combine, life can't get any better. I try to write about my escapades, my favorite restaurants, and other things I find cool in my hopes to one day be Anthony Bourdain. www.neelbhat.com

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hate tourist traps. When I travel I want to experience a city/country/region like it should be experienced and in my mind the best way to do that is to meet local people and go where they go, eat where they eat, and drink where they drink. I think Couchsurfing is the best way to achieve that short of having a massive network of friends all over the world.

Interests

Food, travel, technology, sports, music (specifically the drums. I love seeing and playing new types of percussion instruments from all over the world).
