Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's been a year that I have moved to the States and finally I have some time to travel. I have hosted a few people when I lived in Vienna but never really surfed myself, I guess it's time. I am always keen on meeting new people and making new friends.

I do plan to travel as much as possible during my grad school and meeting fellow surfers sounds like the best way to do it. Looking forward to meet amazing people.

Interests

I study the behavior of 'zombie ants' and am interested in social behavior in general. Which means, I love talking about bugs, and why they are so much cooler than puny humans.
When I am not, I am a fun-guy (pun intended!).

Grew up playing sports, so I like being outdoors a lot.

I love my 🍺 and I love food. That's basically where 80% of my paycheck go.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm definitely a 'Black Mirror' kinda person.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Camping in the dunes at the shore of the North Sea in Belgium.

Teach, Learn, Share

I look at ants for a job, so if you dig weird ant facts, I am your man.
I can teach you to cook a killer chicken curry.
If you're interested in languages, I can get you started with a few phrases in Hindi and Bengali.

I am always eager to educate myself about different cultures.
