I'm originally from India but I have been living in Vancouver for over 6 years now. I work in the tech industry as an SoC Design Engineer and am quite passionate about my job! I'm a super friendly person and I enjoy meeting new people, seeing new places, and trying new things. I am passionate about the tech industry, outdoors, sports, and dogs! I am currently training/fostering a dog that is going to go on to be a service dog and hopefully work with someone who needs her.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people and seeing new places, and saving money while I'm at it! I have played host to people before, and I have learned that the best way to see a new place is to do it with someone who is a local. I have showed visitors the side of my city a tourist would rarely get to experience, and I want the same experience when I am visiting a new place!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Started a hike at 2am and climbed up an active volcano in Bali to see the sunrise!

Teach, Learn, Share

Things I would be able to teach include how to get started with software engineering (I went through this process myself since my degree is not in software engineering), my native language Hindi, the sport of my people - cricket, and a little bit of Indian cooking! Things I'd like to learn from people is any foreign language, any special dishes they know how to cook, and how to use an ouija board. Just kidding about that last one though
