I live and work in Indianapolis with my husband, Jai. We love it here, and we bet you will too! It’s a small city but there’s a lot to do. We are cool guys, fun guys, etc. I work on cancer genomics research and Jai works with autoimmune disorders. We would love to show you around town and get to know you.

Our availability calendar is not going to be up to date, just ask us if we are available for your dates.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to learn from people, explore new places and show new friends my city!

Interests

I am pretty much up to try anything (at least once). I think friends would describe me as spontaneous.

I love being outdoors and backcountry camping/mountaineering. I also love playing tennis, soccer, cricket and badminton. I'm down to learn other sports if you want to teach me!

My other hobbies are building things, cooking (indian and vegetarian, mostly), reading, singing and portrait photography. I also love hospitality and volunteering.
