Overview
About Me
**If I decline your stay-request, please understand that it's not coz of you, but coz the timing is not right.**
I moved to Germany for Master's, lived in Berlin ❤️ and Italy for 2.5 years before moving to Munich for work. Right now I work as an Avionics Software Engineer in a pretty cool Munich-based startup making flying taxi and I absolutely love what I do :)
I consider myself an open-minded and curious individual. I like traveling (obviously), running, hiking, dancing to techno and deep house, cooking (for myself and others), reading and engaging in meaningful conversations. I'm more liberal, quiet and organized than otherwise.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I've spent significant portions of my life in various different cultural and soceital settings. And I've understood that all these differences have made me accept the world as it is and be respectful. I'm in CS, coz I like to explore and experience. Spending time with new people and getting to know them and their socio-cultural background are some of the things that I really enjoy.

Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you something about the languages I know. That being said, I can quite safely say that you've probably never met someone who speaks Odia, one of the regional languages in India (The Odia letters look really beautiful). I'm not extremely knowledgeable about Indian culture or traditions, but I can respond to the general queries of the curious minds trying to know/understand a bit more about India.
I like to cook and exchange recipes. So if you dig Indian food, then I can try to help you find your way around with Indian spices ;)
I am also really into electronic music (mostly techno and house). If you have the same preferences as well, I might have some suggestions for you where to go dancing in Munich :)
What I Can Share with Hosts
Homemade spicey Indian food, company for hiking and a floor mate for dancing :)
