About Me

I am a graduate student at Georgia Tech, finishing up my master's in Mechanical Engineering. I love traveling in my free time, may it be a solo trip or with friends and family. I have lived in three continents in the past and have experience with very different cultures and people. I thoroughly enjoy going to new places and trying out various things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting people and having interesting conversations. I am eclectic in my ideas/thoughts and I have always discovered something nice and useful from my discussions with people. Furthermore, being a student, I would like to get the inside scoop from the locals and save some money.

Interests

As with mostly all mechanical engineers, I am very interested in cars/engines. I always look forward to getting my hands dirty and learn a thing or two from fixing cars.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a wide variety of music and I am a big fan of Indie/Alternative rock in particular. I read books from all genres: science fiction, fantasy, thriller and biographies. Recently, I have got interested in popular psychology which consists of books by Malcolm Gladwell, Paulo Coelho etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Caving trip in Trenton, Georgia : Spending 7 hours inside a mysterious cold cave, overcoming claustrophobia and fear of darkness, army crawling for hours, and tasting the sweat and mud running down my cheeks - helluva experience!
