About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet people... make friends ... Travel... !!

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Kathmandu, Nepal and completed my undergraduate(Bachelors) education in Chicago. I lived in Porto, Portugal for a year and now I've been in Pittsburgh for a few years. I enjoy playing music, sports, books, technology, exploring, and tinkering with stuff. I've been fortunate to be able to travel back to Nepal every couple years.

PHILOSOPHY
Live and let live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Many kind and gracious people have hosted me! I've hosted many folks as well! I can also meet with people over coffee (or tea :D ) or music jam session!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been fortunate enough to have been hosted by and to have hosted a lot of good people through CS.

Interests

I play bansuri (bamboo flute) and guitar. I also enjoy singing.
Here is a fun jam session where we played Amy Winehouse's "I'm no good" and Janis Joplin's "Take another piece of my heart" :)
