Hello, I’m Arul from Chennai, a coastal town in the south of India. It's known for its food, temples and beaches. I studied electronics and communications, worked as a software engineer before finally moving to Barcelona to do my masters in particle physics and astrophysics. I'm now a PhD student in Germany looking for signs of new physics.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, explore different cultures, get food recommendations, listen to cool stories and visit new places :)

Interests

When the weather's nice and sunny, I like to go on hikes, camping, bike rides, runs, play team sports or swim. I like walking in general, either alone or with some good company. I love playing games in groups. Sitting down with a cup of hot beverage and talking about literally anything is one my favourite things to do.

Music, Movies, and Books

Reading is my favourite hobby! I primarily read fantasy but enjoy all good books in general. Would love to hear about your favourite books(movies and music as well).

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a lifelong learner, you'll find me to be one of those overly enthusiastic students :) I used to teach maths and science to school kids, and now to undergrad students.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My favourite recipes, random facts about the universe, fantasy tidbits and recommendations, some stories :)
