ABOUT ME

I just visited Bangladesh (for a grand wedding) and Nepal (for some trekking, 5416m!) and now I am just visiting a few places in Europe before heading home to Boston.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to find out about where people live and why they live there. And then, when I return to home/find a new home, I'll make sure to keep in mind the comfort of a wayward traveler when I buy a couch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All good, all fun, everyone needs to do it!

Interests

So many things.

Hiking and biking
Cooking and looking
Having fun and going for a run
Watching ants and wearing warm pants
Eating bread and listening to what people said
Seeing things I've never seen before and trying not to be a bore
All of these things and anything more!

• cooking
• running
• boating
• cycling

• sailing

Music, Movies, and Books

I grew up without a TV most of my childhood and, while I enjoy watching movies, I sometimes feel like I could be doing more productive/important things with my time, so I usually stay away from them.

Books, on the other hand, were everywhere as I was growing up. My Mother ran a bookstore in the downstairs of our house and there was a constant influx of books. I want to read at least one nationally important book in each country I go.

I love all kinds of music. Ethnic/folk/traditional music is so great and a fun way of interacting with new culture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Some of the most amazing times in my life have been sailing in open ocean. I haven't done this enough times, but the feelings and physicality of the times I have were overwhelming. When I've returned to land my body seems to want to return to the landlocked rural town I grew up in and fall asleep, while my mind wants to be back out on the boat with no land in sight. Interesting feeling, certainly.
