Hey there!
I am Badru, born and raised in the south Indian state of Kerala. I am currently living in Dortmund, Germany. I've been keen to travel and have been a passionate wanderer since my college days. I wish to explore new places, experience various cultures, meet nice people, learn history, and attend country-specific events. I like hiking, trekking, swimming, cycling etc.

- No alcohol and smoke
- A kind of vegetarian (Fish is ok 😀)
- Find me on IG: _badar.chalakkal

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mainly, I wanna expand my friend circle across the world. Definitely, this platform facilitates meeting new people and experiencing unique cultures. Finding someone waiting for you when you arrive at an unfamiliar location is the best thing ever. Moreover, I believe hosting by a native is better than simply staying at any hostel or hotel. Because the host would help us decide what we should and should not do in that particular place for our convenience, their advice and tips will certainly make our journey easier. It also helps to become aware of a city's specific character and vibes.

And finally, I'm also open to hosting other travel buddies at my place because I know how helpful it would be for travelers to get hosted by another travel enthusiast. Once a friend, forever a friend!

Music, Movies, and Books

Super addicted to listening to music. I always wanted to listen to any songs, even in short time activities.

I rarely read books nowadays. I used to read detective and thriller novels back in my college days.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Maybe (according to my free time😀) I can prepare my favorite Indian dish, Biryani.
Sharing stories and pleasant smiles 😊
