I’m into food, hiking and also an instrumental music enthusiast. I enjoy travel and have been to many countries in Europe, Tokyo, and hailing from India, been to many places in my home country - including a hike in the Himalayas!

I'm doing a PhD right now at UCSD. You can find more about this on my academic webpage acsweb.ucsd.edu/~varavind

San Diego is a beautiful city. The mild sunny weather, beaches makes for a very relaxed vacation.

Having lived here for almost 3 years, I’m familiar with the city, aware of many hidden spots, and some of the best restaurants! I can drive you around on most days.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting lost at Midnight in the city of Florence, about to miss the outbound train to Venice. Not knowing Italian, and no one understanding English. Finally found a cab driver who knew Hindi and was able to make it minutes before the train!
