About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn Sanskrit

ABOUT ME

I love my friends and strive to make those around me feel comfortable and happy. One of my ongoing goals in life is to be present for other people. I have learned that doing so requires a lot of effort and dedication.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Until now I have only surfed with others. There have been a couple nearly host experiences but they have both fallen through. However, now that I live in the wonderful city of Kathmandu where everyone wants to be, I hope to be able to meet and host travelers! I really want to host people!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed with people along the U.S. east coast while cycling and in Montreal and New York state last summer. I've met a lot of lovely people through CS
