I'm Kartik, and I am passionate about businesses and social enterprises. I am an effective listener, and I've recently begun to perform stand up comedy. I like to think I'm decent, but then again, you might just think I'm great.
I love football, books and beer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel a lot myself, and I've found Couchsurfing a brilliant medium to connect with new people. I sincerely believe every individual has a brilliant story, a bestseller in them.
When I was in Egypt, I did not have any money and a fellow Egyptian allowed me to crash at nights at his place. It was Egypt's coldest winter in over a century, and had it not been for him, I would never have been able to travel around.

Interests

Football, books, travelling, hiking, simply walking aimlessly and social enterprises.
I am deeply fascinated by human behaviour and the brain. Which is why I'm into psychology and behavioural economics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, I'm not sure if I can be proud of it - I smoked on top of the Pyramids in Cairo, Egypt.
Bungee jumping was mad too.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can host someone on IMT Ghaziabad campus, near Delhi. I'm only going to be in Mumbai from March onwards.

I can provide a place to put up. My home is about an hour away from the airport though.
