About Me

A college student(studying at Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh PA) who loves meeting new people. An architect in the making, I always believe the smaller things matter. Pursuing a minor in business studies made me realize how much I love economics.

I love travelling, and have had the honor of visited over 40+ countries. I love trying new restaurants(although coffee and pizza will always be bae) and exploring New undone things. Happiness comes out of meeting new people, as I feel thats the best learning one can get. If you like Friends, HIMYM, or Suits, we're almost definitely a match.

I love attending concerts and music festivals. Ive seen over 100 artists, and been to over 10 music festivals. I also play 6 instruments, and love singing(mostly a bathroom singer though haha).

An entrepreneur, innovator, and creator, message me to know more! Heavily involved in the TEDx community - Founded the one at CMU, and a board member on TEDxPittsburgh.

I also love cooking. I play 7 instruments. I sing and do acapella. I love working out and eating healthy - though I try to eat junk very often haha.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people - I feel thats the best form of learning possible. I love learning from people, and I dont think any other app does this better. This platform is filled with individuals who are willing to let people in and share their culture - as a surfer, I couldn't be more thankful / as a hoster, its my pleasure!

Interests

Literally anything catches my attention. I take interest in everything, and yes, I mean everything. Well except cockroackes (they scare me), roller coasters (I will quite literally pee my pants), horror movies.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books and me don't get along too well. Music? Usually EDM and top 100 anything. Hip Hop is something Im getting into, and you can't ever get old of the classics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ive travelled to 40+ countries?

What I Can Share with Hosts

Im someone who loves everyone from food to going out to staying in. My academic inclination towards architecture influences a lot of the kind of attractions I love seeing - from product design to architectural inspirations, but leaning more on the modern/contemporary side of things. I love exploring food and bars and have been to 150+ bars and restaurants within the Pittsburgh area. I also love studying at coffee shops, doing art and gallery crawls, and basically doing anything different and fun. I will promise to make your trip to Pittsburgh one that you will remember for a long time to come!
