About Me

I'm Indian-German, staying in India. Born in NC, (U.S. citizen) lived in CA, WI, KS, MD, and traveled though most of other lower-48. Grew up mostly in VA. Many travel aspirations, but currently main focus is non-profit work in India and short visa-runs.
I boil down to sugar, spice, and everything nice. :-)
Clean. Organized. 50% planned, 50% spontaneous (give or take). Extroverted-introvert.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have many travel aspirations, but currently my main focus is ngo work in India and short visa-runs. Everyone knows the big money involved in non-profit work, so I'm looking for low-cost stays when I find myself away from home. Love talking with new people and hearing their stories.
