About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finding an expression that aligns with my values of inclusivity, fairness and creativity. I am working on an app that will be a decarbonization platform for everyone and promotes equitable growth.

ABOUT ME

I like traveling and exploring new cultures and places. My typical travel generally spans a week or so where I get to simulate living there (I'm always looking for my next home :D)
I like interacting with people and learning their stories.

I like to take a cold shower everyday in the morning followed by meditation to get my day started (much better alternative to coffee).

PHILOSOPHY

Satisfy the kid in you!
Employ the 'beginner mindset'
Stay present in each moment and be ready to flow with it

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been on the receiving end of much warmth from the people and their fireplaces. Really grateful for everything so far. I plan to host soon - probably in 2024.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed in Moscow and St.Petersburg. Interacted with a lot more from the community.
Also surfed in Los Angeles for a few days.

Interests

I like learning new things - currently I am learning inline skating, bouldering, and juggling.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have enjoyed electronic music recently - mostly melodic house and some techno. I am discovering more music that speaks to me. Last week, I discovered a liking for instrumental piano music.

Movies - I like Telugu movies (my native language when I want to get sentimental and miss home),
I also like Nolan movies. Other movies I enjoyed - 500 days of Summer, Old Boy, Pulp Fiction, The Matrix

I read mostly non-fiction and self help books - some personal (to help meditate or seek spiritual journeys) and some professional
