ABOUT ME

I was born to Hyderabadi parents in Houston, Texas in 1983. Grew up there till '96 at which point my mom, dad, and I lived in Riyadh, KSA for 3 yrs. I think that's when I contracted the travel bug and interest for going to new countries. Been addicted since. The working world limited that so taking time off to travel and see Eastern Europe (August '12) SE/S. Asia and make my way back to the US (slowly) going east and hopefully through S. America as well. I'm an open minded person and try to live my life by one key word: moderation. Tolerance i think is crucial and politically, left leaning/liberal. Love good food, good company, and music. I'm quite extroverted and talkative. Okay, that's enough for now.

PHILOSOPHY

Live a moderate life and beneath your means.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have only just joined but hope to host in the future when I'm not traveling. I have met many a couchsurfer who told me I need to join so having searched my gmail, realized I did back in Aug '10 but I had to reset my password as I never got active with it.
