I am currently studying Cognitive Science in Germany, for my bachelor's I have studied liberal arts with psychology as my major and mass communication and English literature as my minor subjects. I like to travel to places on a bicycle when the weather suits me(summer).

In the mornings or evenings I try to go for a run/cycle a bit and exercise. Until I saw people travelling by bike and met them at a camping ground, I hadn't realised that such a thing was possible. Now I can't stop travelling by bike every summer.

Since I have just recently started cooking, I try to cook something everyday as I'm not tired of it yet. I love a nice cup of chai(Tea) anyday.

I occasionally mew back at cats and I think humming is really good for you. I have always wanted to organize and curate the pictures/memes I like and have finally started doing it, let me know if you would like to have a look.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Usually it is very easy to predict the people you know and interact with. They are likely to be someone you know from school, university, work, someone who lives in your city, friends of other friends, and so on. I am generally quite shy so I want to put myself out there where I can meet and get to know people who I wouldn't have bumped into otherwise. It is also nice to know a city through someone else's eyes. It is a good way for me to increase my surface area of serindipity and open myself to chance encounters. I have had very nice experiences on hospitality exchange sites and would like to reciprocate.

Interests

I like reading, you are likely to find me with a book while travelling. I have also discovered my love for podcasts and can't get enough of them, I listen at 2x now. I also like cooking and can cook some nice Indian dishes.
