I am a Heritage Studies student in Germany and also an architect. Having spent most of my life in India, I have always been fascinated by the idea of traveling and exploring the world. It has been almost a year since I am in Europe and I have already checked off quite a few cities from my bucket list :D

Traveling gives me perspective and when I travel, I look forward to capture simple things which leave an impression on me (https://www.instagram.com/aishwarya._.24)

Being a believer in "living life in experiences and not in years", I always try to make an effort to spread smiles and be kind to all living beings. I have been told that I am a good listener and a dramatic storyteller. A genuine conversation is all it takes for me to connect to people. Although, it might take a while for me to open up, but when I do, I tend to spill all my stories and experiences.

I am new to the Couchsurfing community and I hope this to be an amazing experience here onwards!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I live for stories and each one of us is a story to be untold. Couch surfing is a great platform to meet new people, listen to their stories, share your own stories, create new ones :)

Music, Movies, and Books

My choice of music depends on my mood. My choice of music has a wide range from melancholic music to Bollywood numbers. My current musical obsession is Mild Orange, Still Corners, MGMT, Angus and Julia Stone. Yet, classics like Elvis, Queen, Beatles, R.D. Burman, Kishore Kumar, Mohammed Rafi, Manna Dey, A.R. Rehman will always be a part of my playlist.

I love reading books. I have read all books by Khaled Hosseini, Anne Frank's diary (the first book I bought), Shiva Trilogy, Stealing History, War Beyond Words and many others. Also, poetry and quotes if the mood is right.

I have grown up watching Bollywood movies and I have a long list of my favorites which I would be happy to share and recommend :)

Apart from that, I am a huge fan of Hollywood classics specially, movies on travel, romance, fiction, thrillers. Before Sunrise trilogy, Casablanca, Shawshank Redemption, Begin Again, Wild, Gone girl, Fight Club are just a few of them.

Recently, I have been binge watching
Money Heist, The 70s show, The Handmaid's tale, The Office, Silicon Valley, Breaking Bad.
