I am an Engineer by training, but my real passion is for food and wine. I am always looking to try new food and drink, and am happy to learn from my hosts and guests. I enjoy philosophical conversation and playing sports, especially tennis or squash. If you meet me, I will probably try to cook with you at some point, especially if you like spicy or Indian food. If you like food and love to explore cities by walking, we will probably be friends!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I created my account in 2014, but used CS for the first time in 2017. I am here to meet new people when I travel alone or when they visit my city. Mostly I am here to make experiences, and meeting new people does that for me. I love to experience the local culture when I travel, and I love to share things about India and America, which are my cultures.

Interests

I love trying to combine Indian food with the flavors of other cultures. So far, the best thing I've made is Indian inspired pork ribs 😀
