About
Hi everyone, I'm Apurva. I'm currently studying in Los Angeles, CA. In my free time, I enjoy backpacking, trying new foods, watching football, and reading new books.
Some things that I am really passionate about are vegetarianism, improving my community, and social reform. If you are interested in talking with me about any of that or just want to grab a coffee, please reach out to me. I would love to get to know you 😁
