I am a PhD student from Sri Lanka currently living in Boston, MA for my graduate studies. I am looking forward to travelling around North America when I have time!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to music from around the world. Mostly I prefer slow melodious music, of a variety of Indian languages.

I like Iranian and Malayalam movies.
