Hi All! I am a travel enthusiast born and raised in Kolkata, India. I have had the good fortune of living and working in three different countries - India, Singapore, US - and exploring some truly amazing places in the world (Slovenia is my favorite!). Having visited over 30 countries, I hope to continue exploring new places and meeting new people. I love to travel solo and make friends along the way. My favorite topics of conversation include soccer/football, golf, music, and of course - travel!

CURRENTLY:

I work in Michigan as Finance Manager at Whirlpool (if you're looking to buy home appliances, I can get you a good discount!). I have been living in Michigan since I graduated from my MBA in the summer of 2018. I'd be more than happy to host you if you're looking to visit Saint Joseph, Michigan.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people, making new friends, seeing new places through the eyes of a local, and learning about things I have no clue about before!

SHARE: Ask anything you want. I am happy to share my personal experience of living in three different cultures, and growing up in family of 40 people!

LEARN: Everything you have to share.
