Hi!

I'm an incoming PhD student at the University of Minnesota. I've been working in India on distributed renewable energy, climate change and development research for the last 6-7 years. I'm also active in the gender and sexuality activism space. I will be starting a PhD in Science, Technology and Environmental Policy this Fall and am looking for a couch for the period 25th to 31st August, as my own lease begins on the 1st of September. I've lived for 6 months in the US before, in New Haven, CT.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

New to CS. I had logged in 2010 (CS tells me so!) but never used the site. So I don't have as much information or history here as many other members do. Please feel free to ask me anything!

Centres d'intérêt

For the time I'll be staying with you, I'll mainly be focusing on getting settled in MN! But happy to talk about life in India, the renewable energy, climate change space, queer rights activism and my soon to be developed interest in music.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I've been the 'head of my household' since I was 15. I've brought up a very weird family out of very difficult times and they're all doing much better now. So you can be sure I'm a mature and responsible person.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

Let me know if you need anything from India! I will unfortunately be very bogged down with logistics to share much during my short stay with you.

Pays que j'ai visités
