My Name is Nirmal Dholakhia (Easiest way to remember my name is a remembering rhyme - "NORMAL NIRMAL") - I belong to Mumbai from India - One of the most crowded city in world

By occupation I am an IT professional but in my leisure time - I love cooking Indian dishes - I also experiment cooking new dishes of different cuisines ,I love reading books and travel blogs.

I love exploring new places ,meeting people from completely different background and culture ,knowing their culture - their stories - It always excites me.

Staying in Amsterdam since last 2 Years and exploring various countries of Europe

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling always increase my adrenaline - Rather than staying in Hotels I would opt to stay with Local - which will benefit my pocket as well I will get to know people from different perspective from unique angle - I will get to know more about their lifestyle,their beliefs,way of thinking,way of worship and most importantly their cuisines

I share my various Indian recipes and try get to know their cuisines too!
