Ambivert. Like to:
- Meet new people
- Discover local stuff (specially food)
- Learn (or at least try to) new languages.

Math and CS major from IIT Kharagpur in India.

I dig travelling (specially hiking, trekking and all that sort), music, art, dogs and memes. (basically appreciate a good sense of humour)

Currently travelling with my family across the United States (for about 3 weeks), our trip spanning across East to West coast. Going to cover New York, Washington DC, Durham (NC), Vegas, LA, and SF.

I am in Durham right now for the weekend to attend my BIL's graduation ceremony at Duke. Would love to meet fellow Couchsurfers and find some amazing company!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is my first time in Europe, and I plan to travel across the continent to different countries, and I believe Couchsurfing will help me meet locals so that I can interact with them, and stay at their places to discover as much as I can about the place.

Interests

I really love music, it's something that I connect with deeply. Apart from that, I love clicking pictures, have recently got interested in the art of cooking and adventure traveling. (hiking/mountaineering)

Also I absolutely love beverages, from coffee/tea to beer/wine, I am up for them anytime.
