About Me

Hello Folks!

I live in Milan and I do my PhD in Space Engineering at the Politecnico di Milano. I have lived in the United States, the Netherlands, and Germany. I speak German, Italian, English, and Tamil.

I've been living abroad and travelling since 2011. I have covered most of Western Europe and 14 states of the US. This has been an incredible journey. I wish to continue this wonderful adventure.

I'd love to meet new people and engage in cultural & language exchange. I love Beer, Space Movies, Museums, Orchestra Concerts, and Clubbing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to find and meet interesting people and explore places. One never knows! Sometimes, the best friends that one would meet are the ones that appear completely unexpected in their lives.

Interests

I have a wide range of interests starting from Space Exploration to History to Languages to Food. I could have a conversation for hours over these topics.

One thing which I definitely like is to get in touch with the local customs & traditions, food & drinks, and language. This way of experiencing new places is much more worthwhile in my opinion.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:
The Martian, Apollo 13, Interstellar, October Sky, Saving Private Ryan, Hurtlocker, Schindler's List, Shawshank Redemption, The Pianist, Inglorious Basterds, Start Wars series, Das Leben der Anderen, Der Untergang, Good Bye Lenin!, Im Labyrinth des Schweigens, Türkisch für den Anfänger, La vita è bella, Benvenuti al sud etc.

Books:
Failure is not an option - Gene Kranz (about Apollo 13)
The Martian - Andy Weir
Stephen Hawking : From Big Bang to Black Holes. etc

Music:
Mozart, Haydn, Chopin, Beethoven etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

May 2015, I was in Berlin with my friends. We were in Mitte and were quite thirsty for a beer. We bought a few, went upto the Reichstag, and played the German drinking game, Flunkyball, in the front yard of the Reichstag. That was an incredible experience!
