Hey! My name is Arjun and I am from the United States. I love traveling and immersing myself in new cultures and am especially fond of Japan and Japanese culture! I am currently finishing my degree in linguistics at Purdue University in the United States and hope to find work that lets me continue to explore and make the world a smaller place once I graduate.

I am a pretty chill guy, though I am passionate with regards to issues that interest or leave a mark on me. On that note, I am always down for some good conversation! Let's converse! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I continue to explore the world, I want to be able to make lasting connections and frankly, I love meeting new people and getting to know them. I think that Couchsurfing best embodies this spirit of intercultural connection.

Interests

Right off the bat, I admit that movies and TV shows are my greatest weakness. I love movies from a variety of genres and time periods and am particularly fond of Kurosawa and Nolan films.
