Hey all! I'm Chetan. Originally from New Delhi in India, I am currently living in Hamburg, Germany — and loving it!

I love learning new things, meeting new people, and spending time outdoors in nature. And perhaps do all of that at once with some good music, on a lucky day. :D

I'm not a great planner and CS has been a lifesaver finding last-minute ideas from folks around the world.

Still reading? Alright then... I'm a huge fan of tea and offering me one when we hang out is probably the best way to make friends with me.

Professionally, I'm a Software/Data Engineer who loves solving puzzles. So hit me up, if that's your jam! :D

So you're still reading? You must love me! I'm also a vegetarian and have been since I was 7. And yes, I do this because of animals and the environment. And no, I don't do it because of religion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing because my ex-housemate recommended me once. Since then I've met a bunch of nice folks around the world and had the chance to show some of you around the cities I've lived in.

Hit me up if we're in the same city, and I'm sure we'll find something cool to do!

Teach, Learn, Share

I spend so much time watching random documentaries and reading articles, that even I'm not sure what I've got to share now.

I sometimes interview people that I meet and write an essay about them. Usually, I keep the essay private and only share with the person that it's about, but you're free to share it with anyone or publish it online if it's about you. If you like, we might be able to have one about you.

Oh, but I love card/board games and would love to share/play with you. If you text me in advance, I'll always bring my favourite with me.
