About Me

CURRENT MISSION

people are facinating...

ABOUT ME

I was born in Nepal and grew up in South Asia. After that I went back to my passport country, the US for college.

I was a business major in college. Enjoyed that but decided to take a different route after finishing and joined the Peace Corps. I was in Senegal for the first two years on the Sine-Saloum Delta but moved to Mali for a 3rd year in Africa. Finished in September 2010 and have been traveling and nannying since then. Latest chapter in my life is taking place mainly in Oxford, England where I am working on my masters at Oxford Brookes. I've been kind of hidden in a hole the past several months with all of the studying etc. but with the summer coming, I'm ready to get out and involved again!

PHILOSOPHY

The lastest one is... No one looks back on their life and thinks about all the sleep they missed.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted, surfed, hung out in various countries in the past few years....

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted in Senegal a few times and really enjoyed it. Met and hung out with a number of CS members in Mali. Traveled with my cousin through West Europe and Morocco and stayed with 4 different awesome sets of hosts! I could possibly host in a tight spot but the futon is so bumpy in my shared house that I'm not sure much sleep will be had!
