ABOUT ME

Hey all, my name is Chirag, and I am a 28-year-old scientist (fresh out of grad school!) and born and raised New Yorker. I love to spend time outside in nature, salsa dance, watch movies, and read books. I also love to go to jazz clubs and go to live music venues, so if this is your scene, I can show you around and hopefully you will have an amazing time! I recently moved to the Chicago area, have a puppy at my new apartment (hopefully you're okay with dogs!) and love

I've traveled a lot over the past few years. I lived in Madrid and absolutely loved it. It was so nice to be able to travel all over Europe. I believe Spain to be my second home. I've also spent time working and living in Argentina, Thailand, Mexico, and Miami (undergrad studies).

PHILOSOPHY

"This is my simple religion.
There is no need for temples;
no need for complicated philosophy.
Our own brain, our own heart is our temple;
the philosophy is kindness."
-Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama
