Hi! I'm Aakash. By day I'm a passionate technologist, and I'm always looking for my next adventure. I've come to believe that my purpose is to explore the world through my own eyes and through the stories of all the people I meet. I'm highly empathetic and considerate, I sincerely value all people I encounter, and do my best to respect opinions, viewpoints, and lifestyles of all kinds. I have an immense passion for life, for the planet, and all the people on it. Whoever you are, and wherever in the world you may be, I can't wait to meet you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The only thing more fulfilling than new experiences is sharing new experiences with others. I love to explore, but having an accompanying perspective is the only way to reflect and validate exciting moments in my life. Airbnbs and hotels have their place, but I want to meet unique individuals who can, hopefully, even become cherished friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - Just about ANYTHING, seriously. I believe most music deserves some sort of artistic appreciation, even if you're not the biggest fan of it. But I have a particular appreciation for rock, hip-hop, jazz, blues, chillwave, progressive/math rock.

Books - Give me something interesting, and I'll be hooked. But more than anything, I appreciate books that narrate a moving and though-provoking human experience - fiction or nonfiction.

Movies - Wes Anderson, Tarantino - that kind of stuff. But overall I feel like I'm pop culture-illiterate when it comes to movies.
