Left my home at the age of 10 to study in a beautiful school at the base of Mountain Shivapuri in Nepal. That was when I got to meet with friends from all over the country. Occasionally traveled to quite remote and beautiful parts of Nepal. Now live in another beautiful place- St. Olaf, Minnesota. By living in developing and developed nations, I enjoy the differences from both lifestyles.

This past year, I traveled to 10 countries in Europe. I lived with a Hungarian family for 4 months and met a lot of couch surfers from several parts of Europe. Travel means a lot to me. It is through travelling I have gained a deeper understanding of world and humanity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Deep meaningful friendships. By living in several different places, I appreciate how unique we each are.
I want to share my experiences and learn theirs too.

Interests

I love to hear life stories of people who grew up differently than me. I love to have talks concerning reality, peace, travel. I like to listen to others and always find strong points in them which can teach me a new skill/concept. I like writing poems. I like to cook.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books- Recently I am really into reading books. I highly recommend "21 Lessons for 21st Century" by Yuval Noah Harrari. I also finished "Zero to One" and it is a great book to read before starting a company. Also reading:
Becoming a person by Carl Rogers, Dreams from my Father, How the Mind works by Steven Pinker, Anatomy of Love by Helen Fisher and ofcourse Cracking the Coding Interview :D (afterall algorithms are important).

Music- A lot of Raps mostly bollywood, some Nepali too. Divine, Raja Kumari, Gully boy. Follow me on spotify!

Movies- Parasite, Oldboy, Gully Boy, Swades. I forgot rest.
