I graduated from Indiana University Bloomington in the United States and moved back to India for work. I did an Erasmus in college, where I spent 6 months traveling and studying in Europe (Maastricht, Netherlands). I visited 33 cities across 15 countries while I was there. I travel frequently for work now.

I love making spontaneous plans. I truly believe that the best way to see a new city is by not planning too much before hand and really explore when you're there. You might end up in uncomfortable situations but the learning is incomparable.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy travelling and meeting new people.
Also, it's way more interesting to meet locals and see the city from their point-of-view then to just go around tourist hotspots.

Interests

Traveling, adventure sports, meditation, dance, nature photography, partying, scuba diving, frequent flyer loyalty programs and other travel maximization strategies.
I'm also an Advanced Open Water Diver.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Was chased by RHINOS in Kruger national park, South Africa! Closest I've come to death.
In the same trip, I bungee jumped with a dislocating shoulder with a sling (in the superman position).

What I Can Share with Hosts

People aren't ready to go along with my insane plans initially (like going to a haunted location at 2am, crashing in cars/hotel lobbies/airports or sneaking into abandoned areas) but once they go through with it, they never regret it. I promise to make my host have a great time. I'd love to listen to your experiences and share my own.
I also am pretty flexible with living arrangements too.
