Overview
About Me
I'm a photographer and student of photography from Kolkata/Calcutta, India, living and going to school at SCAD in Atlanta, Georgia.
I have plans to study more after but still figuring out where.
I'm a very curious person. I tend to ask a lot of questions when I find something interesting.
I mostly like to travel off the beaten path. Love hiking and camping. I wish to some day live in a quite desolate place surrounded by mountains.
Travelling wise, I am very neat, organized and fairly independent and I'm used to living out of a suitcase and backpack for long periods. Not sure if that's a real skill, but I like to treat it as one.
(I recently just joined couchsurfing and will update my profile as I get more time. Please feel free to message me)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm joining couchsurfing fairly late and I've heard a lot about it over the years.
Mostly, what brought me here are all the experiences I've heard from everyone. It seems like a great way to know more about a new place.
Once I have enough space to host, I know I will host for sure. It seems like an awesome thing to do and such a great way to meet new people and gain some perspective.

Music, Movies, and Books
I listen to all kinds of music, but progressive, alternative rock, metal, funk and blues, and some very chill electronic music dominate my playlists.
Favorite movies are the likes of the Godfather movies, Mr. Nobody and most of Nolan's movies and stuff like that.
Not much of a fiction reader. I tend to read when I need/want to know something or learn something.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Underground Cave climbing 60m under Budapest, Hungary!!!
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach some Hindi and Bengali. I'm fluent in my native languages but never tried to teach anyone, but I know it'd be fun.
Polaroids images, Good vibes, Stories of travels and people are always there to share.
Again, I will share my photography skills in any manner possible.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share my stories of India and elsewhere and maybe help add a couple places to your bucket list!
Some cooking skills.
