Greetings, this is Arjun, hailing from Calcutta, India. I'm looking to travel all around the world and meet as many people from as many different countries as possible.

I just returned from Singapore, where I lived for 5 years, where I met people from over 30 countries, traveled to many different spots around Singapore, got rid of some of my biggest fears in public speaking and being in deep waters, and had the best time of my life. Oh, and I got my degree in Business and Management on the sides too. Now I know how to say hello, thank you and happy birthday in atleast 10 languages.

My ideal hangout would be a nice hike along the mountains and reaching the top just in time for sunrise and sunset, and then taking a couple of pictures for the Gram. Also, I would love to be with a small group of people in a bar over drinks and live music. Karaoke would be a big bonus.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet as many new people as possible and experience my traveling destinations from a more local point of view.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got rid of my fears of public speaking and gave a keynote address in front of 200+ people

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to view the world from different people's point of view, and thus learn from them as much as possible, whether its about their cultures, their beliefs or their life experiences. I also love to share my own point of view as well, and to take away such stories and share it with even more people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am not the best cook, but I could definitely bring some souvenirs from my city in India. Also, since the host will have been really gracious to me, I would like to return the favor by helping him/her cook a nice meal at home, while I'll take care of the drinks section.
