Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I'll be in Bangalore (Bangaluru) for a few days in January 2019 on the way back from a conference. It would be great to meet some locals or ex pats to learn more about Bangalore!

Algo increíble que he hecho

Successfully performed the Heimlich Manoeuvre.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I can teach conversational English, basic counselling skills, and have a decent working knowledge of human sleep architecture, needs, and disorders. I can help make budget spreadsheets if you're a freelancer/small business owner, or even just for your household. I particularly like building custom investment portfolio projection calculators. They take quite a lot of time to build so maybe I could help you out with something simple to start with.

I'm pretty open minded and non-judgemental, which also makes me a good sounding board. I like to learn about other cultures and what it's like living day-to-day in other parts of the world. Recently I have become more interested in politics and how other nations are governed.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I can cook a wide variety of dishes and never use recipes (so I can improvise with what I can buy locally and what you have around the house). Also, as above, I have had a lot of deeply personal conversations both professionally and privately. I usually wouldn't mention that as I try to only have these when appropriate (or when drunk), but these sorts of deep connections seem to be in the spirit of CS.
