I was born/raised in India, but am a first generation immigrant to the amazing city of Chicago when I turned 11. I've grown up learning the ins and outs of the city, and realized how much I loved it as an adult. Having said that, I love travelling (have traveled the world over), and hope to continue doing so. I think this vast world has so much to offer, and I want to experience it as much as possible.

During my downtime, I love to read, work out, do yoga, meditate, dance, sing in the car if I'm driving for 15+ minutes, hike, watch movies/shows, hang out with friends and family, and enjoy a glass of wine with some great conversation.

I love meeting new people and making new friends, talking to them, and exchanging worldviews (I love sharing them, and love learning and respecting different ones).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a great community that lets people open up their homes and share space, and it provides an opportunity to meet new people for travelers. As I continue of traveling journeys, I hope to become a part of this great community.

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn: as much as I can about everything I can
Share: respect

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cleanliness (definitely not a rude house guest type person - I respect other people's spaces very much), conversation/experiences, food (I can cook some things which I'd be more than happy to do, or even put together a meal from store-bought things), and my own couch if they visit Chicago!
