Servus!
Born and raised in Nepal, immigrated to the US at the age of 7 with my family and after living in Oregon for 20 years decided I wanted to challenge myself to see if I can replicate what my parents managed all those years before.

Little over 6 months ago I made my way over to Germany with a one way ticket and a child like curiosity about what was to happen next in my life.
And if I’m being honest…it’s been one hell of a ride.

I spent the first 2 months traveling through Germany,
Meeting new friends, trying new food, learning new languages and experiencing life to its fullest.
Currently living in Kaiserslautern as I work, train and coach here and there and continue to explore the world around me.
Before leaving the states I also started a blog so my friends back home could come along with me on this journey.

I can't promise any award winning material but it's me.

Also, if you want to know if I'm real I also have this here.
Don't worry I'm not gonna have you follow me unless you genuinely want to.

I do my best to be as authentic as I can be with those I meet in life.
I'm passionate about giving back to the world in whatever way I can.
Even if it's with something as simple as a smile.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was encouraged by my friends who've traveled a lot to try it out.
I love meeting new people and developing friendships with folks of all unique walks of life.
Also interested in meeting the locals who know the areas I want to visit,
that way I can really get a good feel for the locations.

While competing in Jiu Jitsu against an opponent who was a two weight classes larger than me, I climbed his back and choked him while he was standing.
