I was born and raised in India, and I'm currently a PhD student living in San Diego, CA. I am a hiking and travelling enthusiast, and I take off whenever I get a chance. I have seen almost the whole of CA and Colorado in the USA, and travelled to China and Mexico in the past. I also like to cook in my free time. I experiment with different food fusions and can cook pretty decent Indian, Mexican, Italian, Thai and Greek food. I am also a beer lover, and living in San Diego has given me a chance to try all various kinds of crafts.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on CouchSurfing primarily to meet new people whenever I travel. During my previous travels I have realized that locals are the best people to show/guide you around in a new place. I'm hoping to make some new friends in my future endeavours.

Music, Movies, and Books

Beatles and Stevie Ray Vaughn fan!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed up the Great Wall of China in -30C/-22F temperature! While climbing down I had almost lost hope to reach back home alive :D

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to cook/share authentic Indian food. No ready-made curry thing, authentic spicy Indian food! In return I'm hoping to have good conversation over a beer.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My company, my experiences, my scientific knowledge and I'll cook for you!
