About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make the most out of my Life

ABOUT ME

In the most trite sense, I am a master's student who loves to meet new people and explore different places. I usually crave adventure and have varied interests. I am trying to develop them into skills. I will hardly say no to opportunities, as long as they are reasonable. I am a laid back person who loves to hike, bike, kayak, read, go out for a beer, and pretty much do anything you can think of. I’m a mixture of capricious and cautious.

I grew up in India and at 17 I made a bittersweet decision to leave India and come to states to travel and ofcourse to go to school. I have loved Tennessee so far, and would definitely love to show tennessee's beauty to others as well.

PHILOSOPHY

"Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Although I cannot currently host, I love to meet different people so I tend to show them around whenever I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Few years back, I couchsurfed for the first time in California and had an eye opening experience. I had an amazing time meeting new people from all over the world. Its always enlightening and inspiring to meet different people from different background and different countries. It was a very memorable experience and I cannot wait to plan my next adventure.

Interests

I have too many to describe on here, but cooking exotic food is on the top of my list as of now!!!

Music, Movies, and Books

Evanescence, Epica, Avicii, The art of happiness, Silent Spring, anything from paulo coehlo and too many to describe on here.
