About Me
CURRENT MISSION
EAT. SLEEP. TRAVEL. REPEAT
ABOUT ME
I'm an International Graduate student in Computer Science. I moved to Dallas about a year and a half ago. My hobbies are listening to music and watching tennis. Although I don't play a lot of tennis, I follow the ATP tour through out the year. I'm a die hard Rafael Nadal fan. I follow European soccer as well and am a fan of the Chelsea football club. One more weird hobby of mine is learning new languages. Right now I'm learning German.
PHILOSOPHY
Life is too short. Eat as much as you can, travel a lot and meet new people. Try everything at least once! :P
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love travelling and like meeting new people. I joined couchsurfing mostly to connect with people who speak German so that I can practice my German and improve on it. I'm also open to meeting new people so that I can get to know their culture and way of life.
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Until now I just had experience only as a surfer. Because of my living arrangement, I'm not able to host any surfer for the time being. Although I hope to host people soon enough.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I am relatively new to couchsurfing and I couchsurfed just once. I had an awesome experience with this gentleman who hosted me while I was in Philadelphia.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music - I listen to a lot of Rock. I love The Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Queen. I also like Tom Petty, Billy Joel, AC/DC, Metallica, Gun N' Roses, The Who, RHCP, Rush, Lynyrd Skynyrd and you get how the list goes.
Movies - I was a movie buff once but now I watch way less movies than before. I love Shawshank Redemption! I'm a big fan of Christopher Nolan and Quentin Tarantino movies. I also watch considerable amount of World Cinema as well. Few of my favorite movies are The Bucket List, Star Wars, Taxi Driver, etc.
Books - I'm not really a book worm but I read books from time to time. My first novel was Angels and Demons and it is still one of the best ones I've ever read. Few other favorites are The Alchemist, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Da Vinci Code.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Although I call myself a traveler I haven't traveled much. So I was saving up a lot of cash to make a trip to Europe. I was able to roam around only in Germany but I had a wonderful time there and it was amazing!
