I am a graduate student at University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. I'm also a frequent visitor to University of California Santa Barbara and Caltech. For workshops/conferences, I travel a lot to different cities. I'm originally from India. For most of my life, I have lived near water : either the Bay of Bengal in India or the Mediterranean in France or the Atlantic in Massachusetts or the Pacific at Santa Barbara.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking forward to meeting people while traveling to new cities. But also trying to be as thrifty as possible (you know graduate students). 😀
