I am a scientist, adventurer, and an entrepreneur. In 2015, I took a solo trip around the US, rock climbing, visiting national parks, living out of my car and couches of friends that I met on the trip. I made some lasting friendships this way. Right now I am based in Milwaukee WI where I am the founder of a composting startup (I can talk sustainability nonstop for a long time- you have been warned!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used AirBnB until I quit my day job to focus on my startup. Now funds are quite low and I need to travel to Chicago quite often for various team and networking events. I have used Couchsurfing in its previous avatar when I traveled around Europe in 2009 and decided to revisit it. If this goes OK, I may never change.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to cook Indian food, take you rock climbing to your local gym and show you the ropes, and can show you how to start composting!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to cook Indian, Indian-inspired fusion, or completely creative (I will use what I find in your kitchen) meals for my hosts if they like eating in. I do not like food waste and have been known to incorporate left-overs and rescue vegetables in the cooking!
