ABOUT ME

I don't really know how to describe myself, but my friends call me quirky, artsy, and a dork. I love to travel and experience new cultures, and my interests range from biological sciences to continental philosophy and fine arts. I'm a loyal friend and I value relationships, but I'm still independent and live a nomad's life. Oh, and I'm not a big fan of writing a massive profile page, so please don't judge this book just by the cover!

PHILOSOPHY

Home is a spiritual and philosophical dimension that surpasses the physical boundaries.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a newbie! I'm planning to host/surf.
So far, I've hosted one couchsurfer from Germany who will be starting his Ph.D in Edmonton.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only recently heard about this website through a friend and I am excited to be a part of this community of gypsy-like souls.

Music, Movies, and Books

Doesn't matter whether it's mainstream or underground indie, whatever tugs at my heart, I will watch and listen to.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have witnessed a live birth in a rural village in Bangladesh and made a short documentary about my experience as a CIDA intern there. I have bumped into a Malayali film star in Kerala and have written research papers in the Bodleian Library.

Teach, Learn, Share

I fell in love with Bangladeshi egg curry when I was an intern in Dhaka 2 years ago. I am still trying to perfect my own recipe for this, but anyone who loves ethnic food might be interested in this.
