Greetings! I recently moved to California from Philadelphia to study at Santa Monica College. (I’m switching careers from international business into healthcare!)

I was born in India and immigrated to the US when I was 4 years old. We lived mostly in the northeast of the country, but would go back for summers. Traveling served as a way to explore myself and my identity, which ultimately led me to my path in international affairs.

Trabajaba en un centro de emprendimiento en la Ciudad de México por un año. Con mi tiempo allá, gané una curiosidad profunda sobre la calidad de vida y mí vocación. Quiero continuar mis prácticas con este idioma maravilloso, entonces si quisieras practicar conmigo - dímelo por favor :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I moved to California and want to explore of the west coast. I am also considering graduate school and would appreciate be able to crash somewhere while I tour schools.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have preference to high energy music like hip hop, electronic, reggaeton, and baile funk. I enjoy music videos and visualizers. The Chemical Brothers, “Swoon” is special to me.

My favorite movies include the Grand Budapest Hotel, Fight Club, The Devil Wears Prada, and 3 Idiots.

The last book I really enjoyed was Mastery of Love: A Practical Guide to the Art of a Relationship.
