IMP: I may not be able to host you due to some reasons but I am always up for beer or coffee or roaming around the city with you.

Travel lover and a food junkie and single. An aspiring writer. I have masters in energy sciences. I love visiting other countries and have been to a few. Meeting new people add spices in experience. Have some crazy roadtrips stories to share. I am that one friend of yours who is crazy and lives like a hippie.
I run. I run fast. My personal best is 12.5 seconds (update: 12 sec; update: 11.9 sec) for 100m (not that fast tho). We can race anytime anywhere.
I am always hungry, you can offer me food anytime.
I make the best Indian tea with ginger flavor. And yes, it is a show off.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I came to know about it when I invited a German guy at my place in Holi festival. This is how it began. We shared experiences, bike trips, etc. That's how I joined couchsurfing!
Visiting Europe for the second time is expected to be another overwhelming experience. Couchsurfing simply makes it better!
My couchsurfing history: Stockholm, Warsaw, Gdansk, Oslo, Milan, Paris, Florence, Rome.

Interests

I write poems and short stories. I have more than 80 poems and a few short stories and counting. I was also part of college athletics team in sprint running.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I will give you 5:

1. I am not proud of this. I was in Gdansk, Poland and after having 11 shots and around 50 ml of vodka I was not in feeling good. Being an athlete I am not fond of alcohol. Since you never go to Poland every other day I decided to give it a shot- 11 to be exact.
My friend and our couchsurfer host left the pub early giving me the key to the house. I was hanging out with some college freshmen. I didn't remember the address but knew the street. Somehow reached home at around 2.30 in the morning with two people I met that evening. The best part- I had a flight to catch to Stockholm at 7.30 next morning. That proud moment when I boarded the last minute call.
Again, I'm not proud of the night but the experience is the wildest I have done. I was practically dying of headache! But everything was perfect.
P.S. I don't like alcohol now.

2. I almost got deported from London. Yes, I gambled on going to London without visa. They seized my passport and after a series of questioning and answering....... rest ask me when you come over. Amazing experience indeed.

3. Camping in a garden in Visby, Gotland. We had no idea where we were. 1 o'clock in the night. Hell cold and windy. Best morning ever.

4. I played cricket on a bus station in Oslo with 3 nationalities: Norway, Pakistan and India. Looking forward to do it again.

5. Ate surstromming, raw, twice and willingly. It is the second smelliest food in the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you almost anything about India from geography to history to architecture to temples to religions to the government to international relations. If I don't know something I'm curious to know about it.

I have learnt sprinting, pole vault and hurdles sprint. I can train people (theoretically for now).
Discussion about English poetry is always amazing!
If you know Italian or you want to learn Hindi then let's just talk.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My first Eurotrip stories about roadtrip from Geneva to Barcelona, pub crawling in Prague and an unfortunate accident in Amsterdam.
Also, I keep food with me all the time. Some exotic Indian dishes, so I guess food is on me (may be, I don't cook these days).
WiFi, what a lovely thing to share.
Milk. I am a milk lover.
