CURRENT MISSION

I like to meet and interact with new people all the time.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Bombay and completed my BS in Electronics engg out there and then came to Los Angeles in 03 to complete my MS in Biomedical Engg and have lived in LA since then.

I currently work as a Software Engineer

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live. I am a recent Pescatarian.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I prefer hosting people who are visiting LA as tourists, so if you are in Los Angeles for Work then chances are I won't be hosting you. Sorry about that.

If you are just looking for a place to crash before your flight, look else where. I host people to interact with them and share experiences. My place isn't a hotel.

Please let me know the dates you plan to stay at my place, don't email me a block and ask to host as many days as I can. I usually have my own plans and they do change so need to know the exact times that you are planning to stay with me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It has been a great experience and I hope it continues to be the same. I like hosting people who interact with me rather than just someone who is looking for a free place to stay.

Interests

I am an outdoors guy with Skiing, Hiking, Scuba diving, Mountaineering high on my list.

When I am not diving/hiking or working, I like going to the movies, trying out new things, cuisines, I am an experimental cook too.

I love to try out new things in life it can be anything a new cuisine, new thing to do etc.
