About Me

Hi everyone ! I'm born and brought up in India. Just a regular Indian kid who's passionately working towards his dreams. More about it when and if we meet. I'm a Mechanical Engineer and currently pursuing MBA with a primary focus in Finance. Totally into good music and interesting conversations. Can recommend some really good Indian (Bollywood/Classical) music. Will be travelling Europe from October to December and looking to meet some amazing people and hear their stories and learn about their culture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Never been out of my country, always within the confined walls, educating myself, I realised I've been missing out on a lot of experiences. When finally I've got the chance to travel the beautiful continent, I would love to meet people, experience the local food, traditions, experiences, problems and most importantly local music. I plan to write a blog during my stay there (I'll be in Germany for my semester exchange as a part of MBA degree but will travelling throughout Europe for most part of my stay).

Interests

I'm really into good music, specifically, House Music. I also enjoy acoustic sessions (Check out the SoFar Sounds channel on Youtube for reference). History and Culture is another thing which interests me a lot. More so about food and cooking. I'm predominantly a vegetarian though. Recently started exploring the other side of food world. Pretty cafes, Cycling, Long walks always up for it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As a part of my Engineering Degree, I've been a part of Formula Style Vehicle Team of my college. We designed and fabricated a complete racing vehicle for a competition. Pure adrenaline. Unfortunately, couldn't compete since it broke down. I guess sometimes you need to taste failure.

Ran 10kms in morning 4AM just because I was hungry. Foolish but still fondly remember that.

Teach, Learn, Share

To be figured out when we meet? :)
There's always a lot to learn and share!

What I Can Share with Hosts

India is a vast country. I can share my experiences, stories, details about Indian culture, food, customs, music and what not. Maybe we can share out cuisines, I'm learning cooking :).
A souvenir, maybe ! (India's known for it's spices and whatnot)
