Hi My name is Sameer Damle. I have been born and brought up in Mumbai, India. Post my marriage in the year 2014 My wife and I developed a strong inclination to travel. Being foreign Language trainers, its very exciting for us to get to know new cultures and different people. Additionally we get a chance to practice our language skills abroad too..
We have been to about 35 countries till now and the number would have been much higher but for the pandemic. However we plan to resume our travels now that we are in the latter stages of the pandemic.
While I am a qualified Chartered Accountant, I work full time as a foreign language trainer and we own our own foreign language school in Mumbai.
Would be a pleasure to meet new people in new countries and we hope that some generous hosts will welcome us to their wonderful homes!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While we have stayed in many hotels/ hostels abroad, I feel the real charm is in staying with a family/ local. That i feel gives you the true flavour of the place. For me the people in a city are the most fascinating aspect than just the monuments. I enjoy meeting new people around the world and getting to know their life styles and how they think and live.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to all kinds of music. I like English country music as well as alternative rock. John Mayer is one of my favorite artists. I also listen to Indian and Pakistani music, which i feel brings me closer to our roots. Music in general plays a very important role in my day to day life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen the Northern Lights (Aurora) in Norway and that experience can be best described as something out of this world. Other than that what amazes me is how similar we people are around the world inspite of being so different in terms of external charachteristics.

Teach, Learn, Share

We can help a host with any of the foreign languages we know i.e. German, French and Spanish. We can also teach them some Indian dishes which are quite unique to our country and a host of other things!
