I code. I strive for the balance between farm-life and city-life. Liberal in thought and scientific in approach.

Travels are fun, invigorating and always offer new learings! So far, I have only traveled alone. Relished every single moment of it. Had lot of figuring-myself-out times. And some chill/exciting hippie times. Did not encounter -ve experiences with couch-surfing so far.

Home is not where I grew up anymore. I am fairly brown and from India. Very easy-going and curious.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

For new encounters and delightful times!

After my hiatus from CS (due to recent graduation and first year at work), I am back to travel the way I like. Only addition is my partner, Maya. She is new to CS and has expressed desire to experiment with the community. So all the more reason for me to set a good example.

Although our next few travels will be short, we would love to meet our hosts and grab a beer at a local bar. Maybe get recommendations on those local treasures to visit/eat/drink.

Интересы

While traveling, I make sure I send a postcard to my place and buy silly stuff from local markets.

Very passionate about science, politics and philosophy. If you are not into it, I won't bring it up. If you are, we will have awesome time sharing thoughts.

The other stuff: Hitch-hiking, reading, writing, hiking, camping, going to concerts and festivals, partying, running, street food hunting, local market shopping, budget-traveling, volunteering, biking, rock climbing, cooking, grilling, kayaking, floating, working out, using public transport especially trains, long rides on a motorcycle....

Музыка, кино и книги

Pink Floyd, Freddie Mercury, David Bowie, Beatles, CCR, Bob Dylan, The Cure, The Smiths, Led Zep, Eric Clapton, Leonard Cohen, The Doors, Dire Straits.... are just a few!

I listen to a wide spectrum of genres. I also like EDM and trap when it's time to party!

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

My yacht left me floating in the middle of the Indian ocean for half hour while i socialized with fellow sea creatures.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

If you want to be a world-class entrepreneur, then you must travel!
