About Me

I'm an easy-going person who is most curious about different cultures. I love meeting new people and hearing about their stories. I think there is something beautiful about knowing someone's story and being able to connect to a small part of it.
These conversations with people from all around the world have helped me learn a lot of things about myself and helped me grow and understand people from all walks of life.

A few of the constants in my life, if you love them, we'd connect instantly,
Hamilton (the musical), Basketball (or sports in general), Music - I absolutely LOVE discovering new music and listen to just about anything that sounds good to me! and i've recently taken up Poi. I'm figuring out the rest as I go :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to learn and have conversations. Meet people. Discover their stories. Preferring to travel solo, I always rely on the city to help me discover not only places but also the people, which helps me get a very honest understanding of the city.

Music, Movies, and Books

Hamilton (the musical), I most probably know the lyrics to the entire musical so there's that.
I listen to Alt-J, James Blake, Parra for Cuva, Hozier, Peter Cat Recording Co., Lifafa, Easy Wanderlings, Flume, Bonobo, Lane 8, and a lot of classic rock music (as you can see, I listen to just about any genre) but my preferred is any and all types of rock.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Vipassana - No distractions (mobiles, books, music), no conversation and no eye contact. We were to meditate for 10 days. It is a practice to help detox the mind.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my culture and stories with you and maybe cook some Indian food.
I'm curious to learn in general so I would love it if you could show me something new!

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Malaysia, Nepal, Netherlands, Singapore, Switzerland
