A traveller, foodie, collector & software developer.

I earn my living by developing software at Amazon. And in the free time I like to hang out with friends, watch movies and read books. I'm in the search for adventures in my life and want to travel around the world.

I've recently moved to Hyderabad from my hometown Kolkata. So looking for meetups to know this city. I'm not accepting guests actively right now, because I wont be able to help them travel around the city. Once I get a know-how around Hyderabad, I'll start that.

PS: I like to eat, a lot (:P) and I like cooking too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I came to know about Couchsurfing from a fellow passenger when I was returning to Kolkata from a trip to Malaysia. Upon hearing about this website and its concept, I felt like giving it a try. And, here I'm now.
