About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Current mission is to travel in more Spanish speaking parts of the world, finally get to travel to parts of Spain I have not seen (Galicia, Mallorca, Menorca, etc., and also venture more into Asia)

After going to Chile and Guatemale, looking forward to explore more of Latin America soon. This year I will be going to Hong Kong, Thailand, Iceland and perhaps Spain again :-)

ABOUT ME

I work at an insurance company and live near the Fairmount neighborhood of Philadelphia. Always open to hosting people who are looking to explore the city and learn more about it.

PHILOSOPHY

Still figuring this out....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My idea of couchsurfing is not quite limited to just crashing on the couch. My best couchsurfing experiences have involved seeing the places I visit with those who have hosted me. Likewise, when I host someone, I try hosting only when I am able to show them the city and able to spend some time with the guest.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have couchsurfed in Spain and several places in the US. As I continue to visit new places, I look forward to using couchsuring more and exploring different cities.

Interests

exploring towns, and not just as a tourist, learning about different cultures, spanish language, independent and foreign language films and of course trying different cuisines.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books - An Ancestor's tale, the fixer, Catcher in the rye, A curious incident of a dog in the nighttime, Midnight's children, Native Son, Lunar Park

Music - Sneaker Pimps, Coldplay, Aqualung, Linkin Park, Papa Roach, Massive Attack, zero7, NIN, incubus

Movies - Amores Perros, Shortbus, Y tu mama tambien, Pink flamingos, Eagle vs. Shark, Todo sobre mi madre, grand ecole, la mala educacion....

Teach, Learn, Share

If you are looking to learn Hindi, I can definitely teach you some. I am beginning to learn Farsi, and being in Philadelphia, finding native Farsi speakers is not the easiest thing to do. Would love to learn more Farsi and improve my Spanish
