You’re busy. I’m busy. Let’s make this simple.

Pros:
-Successful career in healthcare tech.
-Active Tango, Latin, Salsa, Bachata, Ballroom, Rumba, Cha Cha, Swing dancer, Performer ,swimmer and tennis player.
-Semi-unprofessional foodie 🍣🌮🍲
- Meditation is one of my go-to ways to relax.
- I *might* have a weakness for tacos.

Cons:
-Bit of a rebel… I wash lights with darks.
-I sometimes click 'Agree' w/o reading the T&C.
-I take a lot of photographs of guest at top spots and make them tired posing , may be I should put it under Pros:)

If you could only dance one form which dance would it be?

By day, I manage a team of international programmers in healthcare.. But have no fear - I only rarely wear a pocket protector on my first meetups

After the tie comes off I enjoy hitting the dance Studio or running outdoors. I also enjoy social Latin dance dance parties .Lately I am into Tango and plan to become a professional dancer .My weekends are most into Tango Milongas or Latin dance socials with friends. And it’s fun to pack up my car, and take a road trip someplace new, like the exotic land of… Virginia.

My Ideal Hosts
If you're the type of person looking to explore a lot of Dallas, Texas in less time , You’re a genuine person who is invested in learning about other cultures and has adventurer tastes . And while you don’t have to be a standup comic, having a good sense of humor would be a plus.

If that sounds like you, send me a request .

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am not looking to just exchange a free place to sleep , but rather to enjoy new experiences and stories of other travelers. Learning about different cultures make me tick.I have a genuine curiosity to meet new people and discovering their own individual unique talents. I have a host spirit and I love to organize events which do not break the bank even though I am relatively new here :)

https://www.couchsurfing.com/events/free-movie-screening-passes ( https://lionsgatescreenings.com/ )

On weekends, I am generally free to show guests around the city and keep updated on tips and tricks to get passes , free visits to zoo etc.

Passes to see movie screenings (https://www.couchsurfing.com/events/free-movie-screening-passes)
https://www.georgiaaquarium.org/booking/early-bird-general-admission/
City pass which covers both coca cola and aquarium
https://www.worldofcoca-cola.com/special-offers/citypass/

I joined Couchsurfing to help other people discover Dallas in a way that they can explore as much as possible without spending too much . Because I understand travelers spend so much on their air tickets already.Hence most of my events are geared towards good places but free or minimal budget.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies
I love anything by quentin tarantino, taxi driver and cinema from the 70's is also great
Fight club . Secretly I also really enjoy westerns and cowboy movies and ofcourse I love Titanic and The Shawshank Redemption.

Music
I never really was in to metal, but my best friend in high-school was this total metal head. Long hair, hand-painted jean jacket with spikes, big-ass chunky boots, used to draw weird demon-pigs on his books just because it’d freak out our teachers. He was a really cool guy, just looked like the kind of person who’d burn the school down, y’know? But when my folks were getting divorced and I was having a hard time with it, he’d come over and we’d just go riding in his busted-ass car and he’d start playing all these old Ozzy Osborne tracks. We’d just be driving along going nowhere in particular and we’d be singing ‘Crazy Train’ at the top of our lungs because Damn, we’re young and and we figured life sucked so why not? We drifted apart after I went to college, but these albums just remind me of that time when we could just go do whatever we wanted.”

Books
I am an avid reader.
The memoirs of geisha , Shantaram, Da Vinci Code,Men are like waffles women are like spaghettis,self growth (Time Management by Dr Jim Muncy , Compound effect , Power of habit)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1) Driven from Washington DC to Keywest and Miami (2 Times)
2)Went solo to Romania to meet my first online crush who i thought was my soul mate(I was young)
3) Hiked Hollywood Sign in California

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I can help you making Indian delicacies , if you can handle a lil spice. I am participating in Tennis league and hopefully on my way to become a Pro , so I can talk all day about Aces, Federer, Novak Djokovic!

Learn: I am a learning professional photography and bought a Nikon DSLR. If you like to capture moments with a camera , we are off to an amazing start already to become friends. Computer hacks(curious who viewed you on facebook secretly, ask me hah:), some card magic tricks.

Share: Sharing is caring… But some things are off limits.
a) Remote
b) Netflix pw
c) Undies
d) Middle school yearbook photos

What’s one thing you’d never share?

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking / Food: If I can tell if the meal is Italian or Mexican, I consider my self a food connoisseur.
Seriously though I can make ginger bread cookies and jalapeno corn bread , just need to be in the right mood. If you know a good vegan recipe, we can make some in my kitchen!! I can make some mean cocktails . Question then becomes , Can you handle them?

Countries I’ve Visited

Germany, Spain, United Arab Emirates

Countries I’ve Lived In

India, Mexico, Netherlands, United States
