About Me

Born and raised in the Southern part of India and an engineer by passion. Moved to the United States in 2012 and finished my masters from University of Texas at Dallas and started working in California's Silicon Valley after that. Haven't travelled to a lot of countries besides India and the United States but I did get an option to meet and travel to more than 39 different states in the United States and 20 different States in India besides my little tours to Canada and a very short trip to Mexico.

I'm a very outgoing person and pretty much can hold a very good conversation on almost anything ranging from tech, politics, a stock market, spirituality etc. Being an Engineer, I might be able to enlighten you on all the latest tech stuff as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I recently came to know about the existence of this site when I was travelling and meeting friends in the hostel I was staying in and was quickly drawn in by the idea of it. I think I should be able to give back to this amazing community someday back by hosting soon.

I think personal connections between humans help us shape a better tomorrow and couch surfing is one way to connect with people from a different culture in achieving the above goal
