About Me

I am data science enthusiast. I really want to travel the world and meet people from every culture and religion. I am really fond of music, probably of any kind. Although I cannot have a lot of non-vegetarian food from the Western culture and cuisine, I love tasting new food. I believe in exploring something new each day. I do not want a new day to be the same as any previous one. I really want to learn the guitar and also Spanish.
I have a scrapbook of my travels, although it does not have many pages from abroad yet. It has pictures and stories and secret words about the funniest incidents from the trips. I really really love photography. Specially Architectural Photography.
I have travelled almost throughout the whole of India and have seen the diversity in people here. I now want to go beyond the borders and explore.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel this platform really helps one indulge in the life of a host or a traveller. Unlike backpacking and staying at hostels, CouchSurfing stands apart because one can stay with locals , understand their language , food , lifestyle and almost about everything.
One small example which I feel I learnt was the unlike Indians who have their dinner almost after 9:00 p.m. , people in most other countries choose to have an early dinner.
Couchsurfing can help me blend into the lifestyle of a local. Also, in my opinion, there is no better way to explore a place than the advice you can get from your hosts or other local members.

I currently do not have a house of my own, so I cannot host currently. But I will be doing so , as soon as I get one.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Haha to know this part you would probably have to message me. Sharing in public can be embarrassing and dangerous :p

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you things about the Internet and Social Media and much more technical aspects of Computer Science :p. Haha. I am good at Math and Science and English. On a lighter note, I can teach you photography and editing pictures to make them look beautiful. I can teach you to cook some Indian food, which is spicy like anything. I can also teach some electronic music once I master it. :p

I can learn any language you would want to teach me. I am good at my mother tongue Hindi and also equally fluent in English. I took up a German course, but can only understand it to some limited proficiency. I would love to learn anything you can teach me. From Cooking to Video Editing to Babysitting :P

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have lots of stories to share about my travels within India. India is so big and diverse that I will have a hundred stories to share. I have done some pretty adventurous stuff. :p I always feel funny about it.
I have a scrapbook with secret words in it. Hosts can be sure about me decrypting it for them :p. I
Souvenirs will always be carried along :). I will probably try to cook for you if would want to have food I shall tell you about.
Namaste!
I can offer some Hindi classes as well.
