Hey Everyone,

I was born in Scotland; moved to Canada at age 4 and grew up there. I'm half Finnish and half Indian. I have 2 brothers, one of which is my identical twin; 1 younger sister as well.

I've been in Durham, NC for the past 3 years, training as a resident in psychiatry at Duke University Hospital. I plan to return to Canada in the summer of 2018.

I'm a simpleton who lives a frugal lifestyle. Reserved by nature, but thoroughly enjoy a deep one on one interaction. I enjoy making connections with others around the world; and strive to return a helpful hand in some shape or form.

Ciao for now, Sanjai

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The host of the last AirBnB I stayed at recommended this site after noting my multicultural background and easy going manner.

I enjoy meeting random people and learning about their backgrounds. People create the memorable experiences in my life.

You only live once; would like to give this a shot and return a favor. No better way to get to know a city and share cultural ideas than to meet and stay with a local.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recently bought a vacant elementary school in rural Canada with my dad.

Let's see if we can turn this into something!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Easy going manner; thoughtful conversation; an interchange of cultural experiences; a helping hand with a chore. ... And if you ever end up in Ottawa, Canada or Durham, NC; or Finland or the UK, I can certainly return the favor and provide you with local contacts who may be available to show you around and give you a greater understanding of their culture.
