Hey guys! New to this website but I've been traveling all my life since my father had an international job. I graduated from Iowa State University with a degree in Industrial Engineering and have been working in Houston TX for the last 3 years. I love music (playing and listening) and I'm big into cooking. I find both of these things are major highways into understanding new culture. I'm a deep thinker and love getting into interesting conversations. I find that I can learn more from others as opposed to reading a book. Theres so much wisdom around the world and I'm trying my hardest to soak up as much of it as possible! Here are places I've traveled to:

-USA
-Canada
-Colombia
-France
-India
-Thailand
-Germany
-Netherlands
-Norway
-Belgium
-Netherlands
-England
-Singapore
-Japan

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to meet cool, like-minded travelers and learn about other cultures through first-hand experience. Eventually, I'd like to host world- travelers as well.

Music, Movies, and Books

Oh man... where to start with music...
I'm listening to a lot of RnB right now but I'm into Hip-hop, Alternative Rock, Metal, Choral, Blues, Indian Gazels, House, Opera, and soooo much more. I guess its almost like a job for me since I produce music.

Books I've read recently:
-Into the Wild
-Steve Jobs Autobiography
-Awakening the Budha within
-Wolf of Wall Street
-Into Thin Air

Movies:
-Wes Anderson movies are my favorite!!
-Shawshanks Redemption
-Zoolander
-Les Intouchables

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sky diving was hands down the craziest experience I've had!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to share my food, my experiences, my music, and my culture with you. I can also teach English/Hindi as I did while teaching with a non-profit organization called Emerging Voices in Colombia.

Throughout my travels, I have listened to incredible stories and had amazing experiences. Cant wait to hear yours!
