Hi Everyone,
I am basically from India (Duh!), lived in Toronto, NYC and Vancouver in past 13 years of my life.
Love to travel and explore the World.

Vancouver is practically my home now. I live with my dog in a studio apartment. So if you want me to host you, I can offer a sleeping bag and air mattress in my livingroom/office. As I work from home, hosting you on weekdays will be challenging. Otherwise, I am down to hangout and show you around my city
