English, Français, Deutsch and हिन्दी (Hindi)

Hey I'm currently a Conference Interpreting student in Paris. It has been a wonderful learning experience, but at the same time, extremely challenging. I was unable to do much besides my studies for over 2 years. But now I'm back and whenever possible, I'll make time to host/meet you.

Here is my WhatsApp number: +91 9967679668 as I do not know whether I'll renew my subscription after the current one ends.

Bonus points if you write to me in any of the languages you and I speak other than English, especially German!!

Please read my Home Section before sending a request as from the point of view of any host who receives many requests (see Paris), it makes sense to accept only those requests that show that the guest is interested in meeting the host and doing things together, rather than freeloading.

Accueillir des gens me fait beaucoup de plaisir, mais surtout ça fait partie de ma culture et de mon éducation.

J'interviens au cours d'anglais au lycée près de Lyon et j'habite dans un chouette endroit dans le centre. Volontiers pour vous héberger si je suis là, je connais très bien Lyon.

J'aime me balader, faire du skate, du vélo, courir, jouer au foot, au ping-pong, au volley et faire de la randonnée. Regarder des films et écouter de la musique de partout dans le monde me font autant de plaisir que faire la cuisine et rencontrer du monde.

I'd love to meet you and learn all about your country and your life. Please feel free to write me, but be sure to read my Home Section.

I'm currently teaching English in a high school near Lyon, but I've got a nice little studio right in the city center, so we don't need to worry about the last metro to get back home when drunk ahah.

Sharing is caring - and all the more when it involves cultural exchange. You'll see that we're the masters of hosting people in India!

It's too cool to meet new people and make them meet more people!

"Chez moi, tout le monde est le bienvenu. La porte est souvent ouverte pour qu'on puisse inviter les voisins qui rentrent pour venir boire un thé.

Que ce soit mes amis ou ceux de mes parents, quand ils sont là, tout le monde reste souvent ensemble et la convivialité règne.

On est bruyant, le rire retentit et les gens extérieurs qui nous regardent, ils sourient. Tout le monde est occupé en se faisant des blagues et en sirotant à grand bruit.

La première boisson finie et une deuxième arrive avec plus en plus de nourriture, bien sûr.

"Le bonheur n'est réel que lorsqu'il est partagé."

Je tiens à mes expériences couchsurfing qui m'ont appris plein de choses, en notamment apprécier à sa juste valeur, sa culture, son identité, son pays et sa famille."

Pendant la première année de ma licence en commerce et en économie, j'ai commencé à apprendre le français.
Au début de la troisième année, je l'enseignais aux lycéens. :)

Hey,
So currently I'm in Rennes, Brittany, working as an English Teacher in 2 high schools. It's been a bloody great experience: teaching, traveling, hanging around and exploring stuff.

I've met some really fun and friendly people and hopefully that should continue for a while now, as lately I've been trying out new things and been even more open to new ideas.

Okay now, too much of French and France haha. Here's a rough little outline about me:

In general, I avoid having junk and prefer not to spend too much on food. Cooking has been fun too. Back home in Mumbai, I used to practice football, volleyball and run very regularly. Once in Rennes, my schedule has changed and I've become more of a cycling/skateboarding-hang-out type.

Nevertheless, I love doing some activity and all sports in general. So do let me know if you're up for some challenging sporty activity.

When it comes to walking, I'm all up for it. In my city Mumbai, I never take cabs and avoid taking out the car. Local trains plus walking is more than enough.

I read and watch movies from time to time, explore new music a bit more often.

And once again, when it comes to food, clothes and most importantly, traveling, I like being frugal. It's just how I am, and it's so much more fun.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Afin de profiter le maximum de mon petit séjour en France, à Rennes.

To meet people of different nationalities which in turn enables me to get a broader outlook towards traveling and life in general!

Pour maîtriser mon niveau de français en rencontrant / hébergeant des français / francophones !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

J'ai commencé à apprendre le français aux étudiants de mon université quand j'étais en deuxième année de mes études. D'abord cela était à temps partiel, mais plus tard, pendant ma troisième année j'ai rempacé une professeur dans un lycée pendant un semestre.

Hitchhiking in Goa and Chandigarh.
Trekking and hiking in the mountains in Himachal Pradesh.

A lot more, I assure you ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a strong base in English grammar and have been learning French as a foreign language for over 2 years now, so I can gladly teach or help practice these 2 languages!

I am learning to prepare some Indian dishes before I move to France and thus I can therefore teach them to others.

I have done internships in Content Writing, Social Media Marketing and International Relations, so I will be happy to share my knowledge in these domains!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Ready to help you with anything and everything, be it accompanying you to a general store or helping you at your workplace.

I'm ready to adjust, not looking for any comfort whatsoever.

I could also bring you something from India if you inform me in advance!

Countries I’ve Visited
