I am a doctoral student from India living in Taipei (Taiwan).

I am from a northern city, Gaya of India. It is holy place for of Buddhists (Bodhgaya), Jains(Pawapuri) and Hindus(Vishnupad). I have spent most of the time away from my city. I finished my bachelors in engineering from Vellore in the south part of India. And, further stayed in Karnataka for 6 months. I have traveled to many cities of north and south India; but east and west part remain to be explored. I am looking forward to travel to East Indian states. Apart from that, I have traveled to few Asian countries like Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia and Vietnam. Currently, I am living in Taiwan. I am pursuing my PhD here.

I love biking, running and hiking. Having deep conversations about life, culture, science and environment is my favorite time pass. I am a vegetarian due to environmental reasons :P

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I wan to be a host and be hosted. I heard a lot about this site. I wanna see if it really works. I can travel further without much financial burden. Most importantly, I will have local experience with locals and it's amazing to be host as well.
