Hello everyone!,

My name's Ganesh (yes, named after the Hindu god of wisdom and success), am 26 years old, originally from Pune, India and currently doing a PhD in Medical Engineering at QMUL, UK.

When I am not doing research, I am a traveler, extremely curious about almost everything, and really fond of people who have a humble, down-to-earth, open-minded attitude and/or who I can have intellectual conversations with.

I currently live in London and I am literally in love with this city! It's a melting pot of many cultures and I can count at least 15 countries across 4 continents, where I have made friends from.

I have been told that I am a nice, patient and an easy-going person. I am very fond of babies, kids (I have many nephews and nieces back home) and pets. Depending upon the topic of conversation (especially economics, history, politics, geography, movie and comics), I can be very talkative, but sometimes very introverted as well.

Moreover, I can dance Salsa, love food (I spend a generous portion of my stipend on trying out the best food in London), am learning Italian (got lots of Italian friends) and go for hikes often :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To backpack, meet new and amazing people and have great adventures! :-)
