CURRENT MISSION

Finishing my Masters Degree.

ABOUT ME

Hi there. I'm Greeshma, 23 studying Aerospace Engineering at Purdue University, USA. I've been travelling within my country (India)all my life, I'm finally going international now! Needles to say, I enjoy meeting new people and exploring places. I'm outgoing, can make friends easily, love to dance, read, drive and write. I like to try new things and experiment with them. Off late, I just picked up a guitar and figuring out how to use her; it should be interesting!

PHILOSOPHY

I don't have a'one' philosophy. Life is all about adapting and well, just living!

But I do have some ideas I strongly stand by. I blog about them! http://greeshmaramakrishna.blogspot.nl/

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

I absolutely love the outdoors! Hiking, running, driving, adventure sports, anything. And yes, I love to travel. No, I'm not talking about taking a road trip to the next town to get drunk (Don't get me wrong, they are some of my best stories); but walking through the city, with a huge backpack and a map, eating the local food, live music and meet some interesting people.

By the time i'm 30, I want to visit as many countries as I can, eating all their food on the way!

Music, Movies, and Books

This is going to be really long.

Books are life. My favorite genre is Fantasy Fiction! But depending on how much work I have from school, I read biographies, thrillers, comics, fiction and philosophical.

Music, I prefer the lighter, soft tones. And Movies? I watch them ALL!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The word amazing is relative.

I was amazed when I managed to cook a full meal by myself!

I was amazed when I build my first line follower bot.

I was amazed when I first traveled alone.

I was amazed when I actually managed to finish a course on Coursera.

I was amazed the first time I saw the Chicago Skyline.

I was also amazed when Leonardo DiCaprio didn't win the Academy Award, again.

Teach, Learn, Share

My biggest asset is my ethnicity; all the perks that comes with being from a country with a rich culture.

I would love to share as much as I know about Indian food (I make a few good dishes), Indian music, Instruments and Dance.

I am also an avid reader. I am always up for a discussion/debate on philosophy, science, literature, mathematics and recent happenings.
