About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet new people, explore new places and enjoy the amazing winter here!

ABOUT ME

I am an easy going, fun loving person constantly looking to try out new things, explore new terrains! I am originally from India so its been a pretty significant change coming to Madison which I am thoroughly enjoying at the moment!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted once in Madison, 3 guests and it was pretty amazing to say the least! I got to know people and saw some places in Madison that I had not explored myself.
Since then I have moved away to Seattle, but will probably host more people once I set up things at my new place

Interests

I really love outdoor activities like running, hiking and love to play tennis. Reading is also one of my passions and I love to read during my spare time.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: I enjoy reading both fiction and non-ficiton particularly mystery, thrillers, scifi and romantic if they really well written. Some of my favorites are Kiterunner, Game of Thrones Series, The Da Vinci Code and Gone With the Wind
Shows: Friends is an all time favorite for me. I like comedy and thrillers. Some of the other shows I like are: Game of Thrones, Homeland, Big Bang Theory, How I met Your Mother
Movies: The Dark Knight is an all time #1 for me! I love to watch thrillers, mysteries, action, and animes though once in a while I like to watch romantic and comedies as well. 300, Fast and Furious Series, Hangover, Madagascar, Despicable Me
Music: I like Classics and rock the most.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went to Ethiopia on a volunteer trip and hiked the Blue Nile Gorge

Teach, Learn, Share

I love having intellectual and thought provoking discussions on any topic related to science, politics and human psychology, so anyone ready to do that!
One thing I want to definitely learn is to understand the perspective of different people and grow my horizons in the process. I haven't met a lot of people out of my comfort zone to be honest and I want to change that, enjoy in the process as well!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can probably cook Indian food for the guests, have discussions on any random topics! Since I haven't traveled much, I would be all ears to their stories.

Countries I’ve Visited

Ethiopia, India, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, United States
