In short, I'm a young adult who loves to learn about anything under the sun. I'm interested in many things and can hold my end in conversations on varying topics. I love to read and am not particularly picky when it comes to what to read next. Having been brought up in both the US and India, I have always had the interest to learn about different cultures, their histories, and traditions. I also love to spend time appreciating cities themselves and they way they've evolved along with its art and architecture. More importantly, I love being surrounded by Nature. From giant mountains to gentle rivers, nature calms me and brings out the best in me. I also enjoy many sports from Basketball and Soccer to Kayaking and Hiking.

I am a Master's Student in Physics in Munich and would one day like to be a professor in the field.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have never found it very easy to strike up a conversation or meet new people since I seem to find the initial barrier difficult to overcome. I would like to break out of this shell. Couchsurfing is also a better way to meet the locals and get to know the place better! Plus, no student can save enough, can they? ;)

Interests

Well, I'm interested in too many topics to tag. I'm almost interested in anything related to traveling. I also love a good book, and to play (and watch) quite a few sports.
