130 countries and counting. Since I was a little kid, I've owned a (well, pretty beaten-up) map of a world and always wondered how it's like to live in this or that part of the world. What language they speak? How are their schools like? And many more questions. As I grew up these questions just kept growing and I finally decided to make my childhood dream come true by traveling and learning these first-hand. In short, I love learning about all beautiful cultures, food and history across our beautiful Earth. I am now a professor of computer science at University of San Francisco. Every little chance I get I use to travel and so far I've been to 130 beautiful countries.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd love to immerse myself deep into the culture and everyday life and I learned that it is impossible to achieve this unless you are connected to someone from that particular culture, or someone who has lived there for sometime. I enjoy conversations about travel, languages, and history. And, while I read a lot about various places' history and past, it is the local perspective that validates or disproves them.
