Hi! Thanks for visiting my profile. I am Manish and I am a senior studying Computer Science Engineering at the University of Toledo. I love computers and my goal is to start my own company within few years. I am also very passionate about traveling and therefore I have traveled 12 different countries. In my spare time I like to cook, swim and watch comedy. I was also a foreign exchange student once and I was hosted by a family for a year. I am very grateful to them for such a great gesture because it changed my life. I was able to try different things with my host and I appreciated the cultural diversity that I got to experience.

I will be a great guest if you decide to host me. I will cook for you and talk to you more about my culture. I will also make sure that I follow all the house rules.
