I am a PhD student at Duke University, USA working on the effects of air pollution on human health. Originally from India but live in the US now. I love to cook and learn to cook new vegetables, lentils, etc. I have learned to identify a few wild plants and fruits and forage every now and then. I rock climb regularly and have recently taken up drumming and am part of a Brazillian drumming band.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in the idea of making travel affordable to as many people as possible. I like to share my cooking and meditation practices with people I share time with.

How to request to stay with me:
-- Please include some information about yourself, reason for visiting, what you need from your stay, etc.
-- Include some online profiles like facebook/linkedin in the request.

Interests

Well, what I like most is probably languages. I suspect my love of languages comes from my fascination for understanding other cultures.
