My name is Sai, I am originally from India and currently living near Spokane, Washington. I am very easy-going and adventurous person. I have lots of hobbies…you name it I probably either want to try or have already tried it and like it.

Since I moved to the US I've learned a lot about different cultures and that's why I'm interested in exploring the world.

At present I am working for an energy company near Spokane, WA. I graduated with my masters in Mechanical Engineering from Arizona State University.

I mentor grad students and help them to get opportunities.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to travel a lot. Studying in the US is my first time ever to set foot on a foreign land. It has been three years since I came to the US and already I traveled 21 states in the US hope to make it 50 very soon. These days I am exploring mostly in Pacific North West.

Coming from a completely different culture, I enjoy exploring different cultures, traditions, learning about other people's different life experiences and their thoughts on them.

I am very delighted to meet fellow couchsurfers and happy to be part of this community
