Hello!
My name is Hailini Patel. I grew up in India, but I moved to the US a while back. Currently, I am a college student who is learning and discovering. I am constantly looking for adventure and opportunities to learn and grow as a person. I am all time positive person and I manage to find positive in all situations. When I am curious, I ask a lot of questions because I genuinely want to learn about a subject or a person. Lastly, I am a quote person. I constantly try to live by the quotes I read and try to be a better person every day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to learn. I want to listen to the unique stories of different people and learn about their experiences and I hope to be more empathic as a result. I also want to experience the cultural exchange and lifestyle exchange with the individuals I will have an opportunity to spend time with. Most importantly, have a good time and have unforgettable experiences with the strangers and build valuable relationships with this experience.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love watching documentaries. I usually watch a lot of them on Netflix. I watch all kinds of movies except horror movies. I can not watch them without getting nightmares. So, I stopped watching them.
My admiration for classical music has increased greatly lately. I also love EDM and other locally known musics around the world. I love listening to new musics according to how I am feeling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I backpacked around Europe while I was studying abroad in Madrid, Spain for a semester. I learned a lot about myself and about the people I had an opportunity to meet. It was a learning experience.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My happy attitude, my positivity and lots of stories. Stories about all of my experiences I have had while traveling, growing up in India, learning the norms of the US, etc. I also love trying new foods and sharing. So, I would be sharing some foods with our talks as well.
