Hi! this is Arvind. I traveled a little in India and I love meeting people from different countries. It's fun to go to a new place and meet a local person. I'm from Hyderabad, India and I have travelled to the west coast beaches in India (Goa, Hampi), east coast beaches (Vizag), hill stations in South India like Ooty, Kodai canal, Araku; North - Himalayan foothills (Parvathi valley), Delhi, Jaipur, Varanasi and Sarnath. Then I moved to the USA with the prospects of traveling and education and got sucked into the whole adulting thing!! Nevertheless, I traveled to Santa Cruz (Big Basin), Yosemite, LA, Cuyahoga National Park near Cleveland, Chicago, D.C., NYC, Philly, Portland, Seattle, Houston. I renewed my passport to the fattest book available and saving up for traveling. I'd prefer to meet a fellow traveller when I go to a new place. I hope you will welcome me to the world of surfing and hope to meet many more of you on the journey.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet like-minded people. To find people to check out the place with. To hear their stories and to share mine.
