Hi there! I'm Kshitij, a software engineer who has been living in the Netherlands for the past year. Originally from the beautiful city of Dehradun in India, I moved here to explore new opportunities and immerse myself in a different culture.

In addition to traveling, I enjoy hiking and biking adventures. Whether it's trekking through scenic trails or cycling around charming towns, I’m always up for an outdoor challenge. Exploring nature on foot or by bike has given me some of my most cherished memories, and I'm always excited to find new paths to explore.

Besides traveling, music is a big part of my life. Whether it's jamming with friends or attending live concerts, I'm always up for a musical adventure. If you have a favorite local band or a hidden gem of a music venue, I'd love to hear about it!

Looking forward to meeting you and sharing some amazing experiences. Let's make some great memories together!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love discovering new music from any genre, as long as it resonates with me. I enjoy playing the guitar and, while I'm not a huge movie buff, I do appreciate a good film. Some of my favorite books include "The Alchemist" and "The Kite Runner."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've embarked on numerous solo adventures, with some of the most memorable being my solo travels through the stunning Himachal Valley. Additionally, I've explored three major Indian cities—Kolkata, Pune, and Mumbai—each offering its unique charm and vibrant culture.

My journey then took me to Europe, where I moved to the Netherlands. Since then, I've had the pleasure of exploring several incredible cities, including Paris, Lisbon, Amsterdam, Brussels, and Zurich. Each destination has enriched my life with new experiences and unforgettable memories.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love sharing my passions with others, whether it's teaching the basics of guitar or introducing someone to the world of computer programming. I'm also enthusiastic about sharing my city and its diverse food culture with new friends.

I'm eager to learn Dutch and am always open to discovering new things and experiences. Let's connect, learn from each other, and create lasting memories together!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a lot with my host, starting with an introduction to our vibrant Indian culture and insights about my hometown, Dehradun. I'm excited to take you to food places in Eindhoven that only a local would know, especially those hidden gems offering authentic North Indian cuisine. Additionally, I can share my knowledge and passion for music and programming, perhaps teaching you some basics of guitar and coding. Let's explore, learn, and enjoy great food together!
