Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I moved to New York city in Spring 2017 and found couchsurfing as a perfect platform to meet people from various geographies, make new friends and exchange talks. I have been to lot of CS events, parties and have hosted quite a few surfers and its been an amazing experience.

The community is growing rapidly and turning into one giant family with such diverse set of people around the globe. Its a great concept.

Interests

I am reading The Battle for Sanskrit as of now. I am also hooked onto Hot Flat and Crowded. Some of the books that I have liked in the past are Sapiens, Predictably Irrational, Outliers, Steve Jobs, Eat that Frog, Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus, And then there were none.
