Hi Friends
i am on a 18 month around the world trip. My first international stop is Shanghai China on January 18th 2018!
I am originally from India, and now live and work in Washington DC USA.
I speak English, Hindi, Telugu.
I love exploring the world, and meeting people. Enjoy the wide variety of cultures and experiment eating what the locals eat. I have been to week long trips with Sierra Club and love nature, hiking, scuba diving.
I read wide variety of books and like to discuss world affairs with others.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing because I want to meet and know people in the cities I visit. You would know the country or the city by the nationals and international present there and I do not want to be just a tourist but a global citizen.

My name is Paul and i am from Washington DC. I am embarking on a 18 month walk-about around the world and my first stop is to Shanghai China on Jan 18th, 2018 I am renting an apartment in shanghai and just yesterday a fellow traveler reminded me of couch surfing to be part of the the locals in an more meaningful and deliberate way.
I am originally from India and i can cook some good indian meal for you! i wish i knew fire-dancing or snake charming to entertain my hosts!
thank you!
