I love travelling, hiking and landscape photography. So all my stories are related to that.

I was born and raised in West Bengal, India and I moved to Canada in 2014 January for my PhD. But the main motivation is to travel around the world and experience new things. Usually, I am very quiet and love listening to others. But once someone is able to break the initial barrier, I am totally different, crazy and talkative..

I feel the worst when it comes to going back to home even after a crazy adventurous tiring day outside...!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My dream is to travel all over the world and habituating to new cultures by socializing and making exciting local friends who can talk and laugh endlessly and of course eager to trying out adventurous stuffs with me.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movie:
I don't understand why movies never attract me. Whenever I start watching movies, I feel so sleepy and boring. Very rarely that too only in a lazy, rainy evening or late night, when you just cannot go outdoors, I love watching
Science fictions (Inception, Matrix, Divergent, Bourne, Volcano, Apollo 13, The Core..),
Disaster and war movies (Day after tomorrow, Hidalgo, City of God, Atonement, ..),
Psychological thrillers (The Orphan, Shutter Island, A Beautiful Mind, Psycho, Vertical limit...
few fairy tales and cartoons (Garfield I & II, Enchanted, Frozen, Tangled)

and off course Tom & Jerry..

Books:
Rather, I can spend whole night reading a thriller of Agatha Christie or poems from "Sanchaita" by Tagore. And Satyajit Ray.... I love reading Feluda again and again. I love reading those books where I can relate to myself or through which I can easily move in to my dream world. Few of my favourite books are The Lowland, Brida, Wuthering Heights, A thousand splendid suns, Harry Potter, Bloodline, And Then there were None...

Music:
Only when I am in a long journey and very tired

White-water rafting in Rishikesh, India. I also crossed the chilling cold rushing and roaring river..., the water level was up to my chest height and I did not know swimming.. !!!!!
