About Me

https://www.facebook.com/kunaltg

Brought up in the colonial town of Kolar, I graduated as an Architect in 2012 from the School of Planning and Architecture, Delhi, and have worked with some notable firms in Bangalore.

Having obtained experience from corporate practices, I found my calling in doing volunteer work for social causes. So I filmed documentaries for the Singapore-based NGO Billionbricks, with which he i am still associated. I had the oppurtunity to travel to earthquake affected villages in Nepal as a humanitarian worker with relief materials and shelters.

Now I am here in Germany doing my Masters at HafenCity University Hamburg.

Back home in India, my folks look after my five year old black labrador Smooky who I miss a lot.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Emancipator, Idan Raichel, Jonsi, Oliver Shanthi for music, I simply can never get tired of them.

Indianajones has been my all time favourite, I keep watching them over and over. Along with many action/adventure/treasure hunt genre movies.

Books, you give me anything I love to kill time during transits, at times I have finished entire book in one sitting while waiting for my next train/bus. Little Prince is the one book I keep reading over and over, and feel happy that there are more than one way to look at a problem.
