Global citizen, open to newer perspectives and dimensions across horizons!
Like learning new languages& cultures. Engineer by profession, human being 24x7.
Cooking& exploring cuisines& going for a run take away most of my time, apart from regular stuffs!

I speak English, German, Tamil, Malayalam, decent Hindi and Polish. Can pick bits of Russian/ Finnish/ Swedish/ Italian/ French, thanks to CS and some friends I’ve met. If you happen to not speak any of these languages, feel free to still write, I’m sure we can work out a way to communicate .
I’m also a fan of sign language!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Have made wonderful experiences meeting interesting people. I love the idea of being different and thinking different.
CS is the place for it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Motto: Never talk about an idea/ be theoretical. Go and experience it live!

- A four day cycling tour in the South of India, from Munnar to Alleppey, sharing a great bond with nature, camping in the tent during the night!
- two days of continuous Trekking: travelling in the south of India, ending up sleeping for just over 2 Hours! Two mountains, one 14Km holy walk, a long drive and yummy food on the go!
- a 1800 Km’s drive in 2014 in our car from Chennai to Kerala, driving along with my father. We had a lot of fun! We did this drive once more, in 2016! My mother was enjoying, relaxing in the back seat!
- took my sister for a Need For Speed Style drive in my Car from a wedding venue to my home in Chennai and return, in 30 minutes. This should usually take 75 minutes. She got really petrified, but it was her lapse to forget something at home and go get it. We had no option but to go get it fast. Haha
- Cleaning up the River banks and Beaches along with my friends. We did this continuously for over 1.5 years
-Was part of the first few Volunteering teams in Chennai, which started to help the people during the massive floods in 2015, with food and supplies
-5 of us from different countries, we did a Hitchhiking trip to Gdansk, Sopot and Gdynia in Poland - stayed with 3 CS hosts each night, swam in the cold Baltic Sea, met amazing people and made wonderful memories! One more amazing thing!
- Visited Germany 4 times over 1 year - almost 45 days in total and different cities each time !
