Hello friends, I am Arko. I'm a travel freak. By profession, I am a Software Engineer and by passion, I am a blogger, photographer, guitarist and also a cook! I am a very jolly and friendly person. Usually people loves my company. Whenever I get time and save some money, I head out to visit and explore different places, taste local foods, interact with locals and learn about the place's history, tradition & culture, indulge into several adventurous, fun and social activities, capture those beautiful moments. Mostly I get one or many companions along with me for the trips but, there has been instances where I went for solo trips and made friends on my way. Once you meet me, you will come to know more about me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel, explore, make friends, learn about the places, local cuisine and culture. Through Couchsurfing, I can couch surf at different places, make friends, know more about them, share my stories, eat local foods, cook Indian foods for them, get suggestions about exploring the place. Similarly, I can host my place for 1 or 2 persons, who is visiting Bangalore, India. I will provide several useful travel tips and whenever possible, would also join along with you to show different places not only for Bangalore, but also for several places in India.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Several remarkable trekking, hiking and camping in the Himalayas

- Suddenly hit the road and go for an unplanned trip
The list is quite long to write!

Teach, Learn, Share

From every place I visit, I learn a lot and it makes me more rich and matured.
I believe that you should learn from your past rather than living in it. Life is too short to worry unnecessarily; Live it to the fullest with no regrets!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a whole bunch of stories with hosts without making them feeling bored. I can cook tasty Indian food for them. Engage in long conversations and share knowledge and experiences. If there is a guitar available then, I can play it and sing for them. Overall, I can be a great company to the host.
