ABOUT ME
Born in Singapore, raised in Los Angeles, lived in Calcutta, San Diego, Delhi, Udaipur, Washington DC and now in San Francisco.
I recently moved to San Francisco 6 months ago, and have been on different sublets each month in a different area of the city - just so I could learn it well!
Pretty laid back (despite being a lawyer). I'm up for an adventure especially when it isn't practical.
I really enjoy traveling, especially without real plans or an agenda. I would prefer walking around a city and exploring aimlessly than going to all the tourist sights.
PHILOSOPHY
Don't really have one, or at least not a coherent one.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
New to San Francisco - I figure the best way to get to know the city is to couch surf! Down to meet up for drinks/coffee/city exploring with couchsurfers.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've hosted before, and hung out with a bunch of cool surfers - but actually have yet to surf!
