Me: quiet-ish, easy-going, and excited to explore new places and take on new challenges. I've been riding a wave of language fellowships for the last year-and-a-half living in India and Pakistan. Now, I'm planning a two-week trip to Germany and Czech before I make my way home to the US from India.

I'm an avid record collector on hiatus. I'm passionate about music— always looking for new artists and sounds I've never heard before. I'm a struggling free-lance writer dabbling in editorial journalism and short fiction. I run when I have the time and space. I take photos with my little 35mm rangefinder camera. My traveling tends to revolve around food destinations and the rest unfolds from there.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Places are made up of people. I want to connect with interesting people wherever I travel. I'm also not incredibly wealthy, so I'm here to be a gracious guest to whoever is willing to house me.
