CURRENT MISSION

Karma believing agnostic who finds travel to be a humbling experience

ABOUT ME

I have called Denver home for 17 years now and arrived there by way of years spent in Bombay, Philadelphia and NYC. Love the city and am glad to be able to share it with anyone new to it. I have moved to new cities a few times in my life and have always found people who generously helped me adapt to my new surroundings. I keep trying to pay that forward.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to the fullest every day without hurting anyone. Be accepting of people's generosity while being mindful to pay it forward.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am looking to travel to South America for a few months early next year and would love to connect with couch surfing hosts during my visits to learn about their perspective in respective cities. In anticipation of such , am looking to share my humble abode to any travelers visiting Denver.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet though I met with some very engaging couchsurfers in Lisbon recently who got me hooked on this concept.

Interests

Have a self inflicted short attention span which allows me to explore new interests constantly (though not always leading them to their logical conclusion). But I do feel I grow a little bit through all my varied experiences and interests.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
