About Me

I'm a grad student by the day, researching Physics and Artificial Intelligence at Harvard. Always up for a nerdy conversation. But I also love exploring and traveling. I have a dog-like cat called Nimbus (he loves to play and wants attention ALL the time).
I've been in Boston the last couple of years and would love to meet new people who pass by:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best way to experience a new place is though the locals living there. It is a great way to truly be a part of the culture and learn their language and ways of living. Through Couchsurfing, I can meet the locals wherever I go and can learn a lot about that place.

Interests

I love traveling and hope to alteast cover the six continents soon! Apart from watch movies, tv-series and anime, I dabble a bit in playing Guitar and Flute, with occasional beat-boxing. I love photography. Just started trekking a while ago, and found it exhilarating!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to listen to all kinds of music, anything which suits the current mood, from death metal to classics and everything in between. Current fad is Tropical/Deep House and Raggaeton. I like action thrillers and comedy, but also watch some good dramas. Currently watching Master of None.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got a chance to visit Australia, Japan, Singapore and France in a span of 6 months, as a part of my studies!
