I was born in Boston, USA and spent the first 18 years of my life in this awesome city. After that, I moved to the bright lights of New York City to work. My parents immigrated from India to the USA so I am ethnically Indian but grew up and spent my entire life in the United States.

Work: I have a true passion for economics, development work, and film: I also am a travel youtuber (Paul Dilla is my youtube channel), where I’ve gone to some of the most remote parts of the globe - indigenous areas, ethnic enclaves, and small towns. I’ve been all over Latin America, parts of Africa, and a little bit of the Middle East.

I’ve been working remote the past 5 years and have been on the move every few weeks.

*Currently in Miami until January 11th*

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

To learn about different cultures. I do enjoy more "off the beaten path" styles of travel where we explore and have spontaneous adventures together.

I also have a goal where anytime I visit any major city, I have to visit every neighborhood within it to fully understand the city, from the richest to the poorest, etc.
