My name is Arnav and I'm 30 years old.

I hail from a city in Northern India, called Chandigarh, though I've been living away from home for the past 10 years.

I'm a curious person, always wanting to learn and discover new things and experiences.

During university, I joined the student organisation AIESEC, which led me on a 5 1/2 year journey of discovering cultures from around the world. Through AIESEC, I had an opportunity to volunteer in Bulgaria, which gave the travel bug. After graduating from university, I opted to volunteer for 1 year as a member of the national team of AIESEC in Ukraine.

I've been living in Kyiv for the past 3 years: 1 year as a volunteer and the other 2 as an intern/employee at one of Ukraine's prominent IT startups. After working at this company for 2 years, I decided that I wanted to pursue my higher education.

Before I head onto this next phase of my life, I wanted to have an immersive travel experience across Europe.

I love to cook and could cook up a nice meal for my hosts.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet other people who share an interest in discovering new places and cultures.

I believe that there’s a lot more in common between people from across the world than we’re made to believe.

Interests

I love to cook!

I believe food is a great medium to bring people together. I would like to start a food related business in the near future.
