Well, my name is Aseem. I was born on 8/8/1988, so since an 8 sideways is an infinity symbol my parents decided to give me a name that means infinite.

I was born and raised in Houston, Texas. When I was 17, I decided to pursue my undergrad degree in Art History in Edinburgh, Scotland.

After that I moved to London and then NYC for work. After working at a pretty unfulfilling corporate job, I decided to pack up and work in New Delhi, India.

After a year in Delhi, I moved back to the US and now live and work in Boston at an amazing social justice book publisher.

Now I'm considering grad school in the future and I am excited for the next chapter and not knowing what's to come.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Basically I love to travel. I love getting an authentic experience with locals and understanding a place through the hospitality of others. So no more expensive hotels or poorly managed hostels... :-)
