Hello!

I'll be graduating from my Bachelor's program in Neuroscience at UIC this May and am looking to jump into travelling and making new connections right after this. I was recommended couch surfing by a client who I work with at the gym and thought I'd give it a try. I really love learning about the history and culture of different people so please feel free to share. Looking forward to spending time with hosts and hopefully hosting some travellers of my own soon.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to find new friends to travel with and to learn about local cultures from the most reliable sources :). Love eating so please recommend anything.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a first generation Indian American so I can share a little bit about the immigrant experience as well as what it was like growing up in two cultures. My parents taught me the importance of being gracious so I'll be very careful not to overstep boundaries if you are so kind as to open your home to me. I love maintaining connections so I'll of course stay in touch and you are welcome to join me on travel opportunities that we're exploring in your home country.
