About Me

I graduated from USC in December 2016 and now I am working in Downtown. I have been in LA for 3 years now.

Before requesting to stay please read accommodation arrangements. I live in a gated community and you need to a key to access anything inside. So sometimes, I might not be able to host during weekdays due to my work schedule.

CURRENTLY ACCEPTING GUESTS ONLY AFTER 5th of January

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

sonder
n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.

Meeting new people from different culture can be an enlightening and enriching experience. Every person has his/her own story to tell. I feel richer knowing I know more than just my share of life, I have others' experiences too to add to the concoction.

Interests

I like Doctor Who, playing league of legends, sketching, cooking, playing board games. I also watch a lot of other TV-shows. Trekking/hiking can be fun with groups. Never had an opportunity to do adventure sports but definitely want to try bungee jumping, skydiving, para-sailing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Godfather, To kill a mockingbird, Loosing my virginity- an autobiography of Richard Branson. When it comes to music I like simon and garfunkel, Eliott Smith when I want to relax. Also, bollywood songs always a thumbs up, being an Indian.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
