I live in Chicago for over 2 years now. Having lived in different parts of the US and India, I appreciate travelers a lot and travelers on budget especially. I am a curious person and a sucker for learning from other people's travel experiences. I love traveling myself and in year 2015 I clocked 70 days on the road. I am glad to have the job I do!

I am an easy going, sociable and self-assured person. I enjoy company of those almost any kind of person, personality, etc etc etc except maybe someone bigoted, or racist or elitist.

Life is too short so be good and be kind!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have lost count. But, I tried surfing even though I am a terrible swimmer. I could have died!

Teach, Learn, Share

Coming to the United States few years ago has completely changed my perspective of life in general. I am much more broad minded and I take pride in the sacrifices my family and myself have made by living away from each other.
I do like to talk about cultures, i LOVE food and I can have conversation with anyone in the entire world! Except, it has to be in English, Hindi or Bengali! Well... i am open to learning your language as well. I shouldn't discount the power of body language and pictionary ;)
