Helloo CSers,
I am Aakash, from Bangalore, India. Working for Amazon.

I stay in Manali, Bangalore or Kerala throughout the year.
Kerala for theyyam related stays.
Manali if you want to explore the Himalayas
I keep shuttling from these places so even if I am not staying I can help you with the stay with my family (most of the time it's empty)
Worked with Sprinklr, Schneider and Amazon now.
Data analytics, advertising, Media planning, Social media, digital marketing, amazon ads - these are my forte.
I am trying to contribute to the world through a sustainable and minimalistic lifestyle.

I am learning Spanish as I spend some years in Spain! It's a beautiful language, still I struggle to communicate with a native Spaniard 😅. If you are Spanish speaker you get brownie points 😅

Loves to interact and explore culture of different countries.
Love sports and adventure! Running, hiking, cycling, Football Cricket anything you call it i am game for it.. I enjoy cooking, doing creative campaigns. Sports, history, fashion, movies, politics, mysteries , religion, spiritual are few things I love to discuss...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i love to travel and meet new people!
CouchSurfing for me is not about saving money, but it's a cultural experience, one cannot have it in any hotel or hostel. I want to experience life of a local/native. I prefer spending time with a local than doing tourist things like visiting a museum or palace.
i want to get out of my comfort zone!
i believe couchsurfing will teach you new meaning of life!!
Boundaries are created by humans, i believe entire human race is one family!
i want to do things which will be new to me, meet and make new friends, it helps you to know history about the place which is not from books but from the people who have witnessed it or heard from their previous generation.
I had an amazing experience in Europe, hosted by amazing people, strangers then and friends now. I want to give back the same.
