Grew up in India, lived in NY/NJ for 10 years and now in H Town.

Love nature and the outdoors - hiking, swimming holes, cliff jumping, snow sports, birding, backpacking, and camping.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's the way to travel if you can. I have hosted once but never actually couchsurfed.

Lately, I have planned all my vacations to be very active, with things planned from sunrise to sunset. Not the kind of vacation where I should be using a host's place as a hotel. I hope to be able to change that and plan a relaxing vacay soon where I can hang out with locals.

Music, Movies, and Books

My music taste never evolved from the classic rock I used to listen to in my college dorm. Why would anyone listen to anything else!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wild cave tour which involved crawling through miles of super narrow caves for hours in Mammoth Cave NP.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Never-ending bird and nature talks. I know most wildlife refuges around Houston.
