I am an international student from India who used to be a physics teacher at South Boston High. Currently I am getting my PhD in Education at Columbia University. I love traveling, meeting new people, dancing, and outdoors! I find joy in cooking for people and in convincing them to try social dancing!

Note: I was previously living in Boston, but I moved to NYC in August 2025.

Also, I do prioritize surfers who have also hosted other people in their house. You only know what it means to be a CS guest when you also host. The CS community can only benefit in a just way if we host and surf both, not just the one or the other. Regardless send your request.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I live with two other housemates who are also students at Columbia. People from different countries and cultures have been our guest.
