Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For conferences, summer schools or some other academic reasons I keep traveling to various parts of Europe and USA. As you can understand at times it is very difficult to get support for accommodation. And being a researcher from a developing country it becomes more difficult to fund my travel as well as accommodation cost.

Interests

I have interests in music. I love reading. Though don't get enough time now to read. Otherwise I am interested in Philosophy and various environmental issues around. These really concern me a lot.
