Gentle, soft-spoken, curious and humorous.

I don't smoke/drink

I am from Bangalore, India and now living in Potsdam near Berlin, Germany. I am a PhD student in Atmospheric Chemistry at the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies, Potsdam.
I am also a part of a community run vegan cafe called Madia, in Potsdam.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I visited Vienna in April 2017 and was looking for some vegan friends. I was very fortunate to have stayed at Carina's place. She took me around Vienna and showed me many places and vegan markets. We had a lot of fun time together. Couchsurfing took my first foreign visit to a whole new level and I had an incredible experience.

I am looking forward to host people and make their stay, a pleasant and memorable one. Even for my travel purposes, I prefer couchsurfing over booking hostels as I get to meet new friends.
