I'm a grad student at GaTech, currently on a hiatus from my mission to travel the world and absorb the colors within :) Nature, people and conversation are all I need to survive. Also, books!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling around and meeting new people has been a dream for me. Being in an entirely different continent has been a wonderful experience for me so far and I would like to add more valuable memories to it!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I couchsurfed in Basque country in Bilbao, Donostia and Bayonne and had a wonderful experience. Hoping to have more such experiences as a traveler and as a host once I return home.

Interests

Broadly speaking - Travelling, trekking, cycling, cooking and movies!

I enjoy reading about space science a lot and am a big believer in humanity's need to explore the universe. I'm traveling and covering ground on Earth before they start colonizing Mars - then I will join them on Mars ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I believe amazing is generally a matter of perspective!
In my view, my pilgrimage to Sabarimala (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabarimala#The_pilgrimage) is amazing enough to warrant a mention here.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Indian food recipes and practice English. Also, I'm fairly well acquainted with electronics and computers :) If you are interested, I am happy to discuss anything about my country, India - cities, colors, cultures, and on my year-long stay in Europe :)

And I love to learn. So whatever you want to teach, you will find an eager student in me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help out cooking food, with chores, have a pleasant chat and share lots of happiness.
And I carry cookies/chocolates every time I travel :)
