Hi, my name is Ujwal or Uji and I'm an undergraduate student at The George Washington University studying Physics and I've lived in 5 countries and travelled a lot. Part of what makes me who I am is my visits to many countries and my love to experience newer cultures. I love sports and have been watching and playing it since forever!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Having lived in 5 countries and visited over 20 countries, I want to visit more places and continue learning more about different places and their cultures. Also, I feel that this is a great way to make new friends, meet amazing people and live experiences that you typically would not have. I would love to experience the cities from a local's point of view and exchange stories I wouldn't otherwise have heard!

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a variety of stuff including techno, house, classic rock, instrumental music, ambient lounge, and sometimes even rap or hip-hop.

I love horror with a passion, but also comedy movies, action thrillers and even goofy movies. In Bruge, Annabelle, and Some Like it Hot are some of my favourite movies

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Made history with my football/soccer team in Vietnam making it to the finals of an Asian cup, captaining the squad, making it to the newspaper, and playing with the Barcelona youth team

Teach, Learn, Share

I tutored Math and Physics at my high school to peers and the school nurse, but also English to disadvantaged youth and coached them at soccer for four years. Learnt how to speak Spanish in high school from a friend, and how to cook from my mum and Gordon Ramsey's shows. Shared a room with my sister for 15 years...
