Ok so i know i am not verified or have references or recieved too many praises on this app, but my friends at home say i need be easy on cooking and feeding them, but how can i? I love people, cooking, eating, and hiking adventures to burn off the food!

About me:
I was born in India Kolkata, came to Toronto, Canada at the age of 10. After graduating high school I moved to sudbury for university and that has been my home for 5 years. I love northern quieter cities more than downtown toronto, it gives me the space to think, write, and come up with creative ideas. My parents are from toronto so i travel back and forth a lot so if you are in Toronto, let me know maybe we can arrange a hang out.

In university I have SOMEHOW managed to get my degree in Behavioral Neuroscience. I remember alot of crying through organic chemistry, and feeling passionate doing my research thesis. I am basically a living proof of "if i can do it, you can do anything you put your mind to"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love hosting and being a guest in a foreign country. This app has so much potential in making your and my travels soo worth it! I am writing this bio as i am on the road going from Catania to Palermo in Sicily(dont worry i am not driving) and I felt so much love in italy from the local bus driver who drove me in his car to my hostel because i was so lost in a rainy night in florence, from the local baker who makes amazing Panetonne, the local owner at a restaurant who knew i was starving waiting for my midnight bus to rome and offered me delicious bread and water, and even the policeman during my 6 hour hike to mount vesuvius (thats a story for later). These are gestures that were beyond repayment with currency. The best way to give back is by doing gestures, and thats why i am here.. to remember these people who helped me in my time of need. Everyone needs love and kindness, as we are all social creatures longing for wholesome experiences, and i would love to offer a little to that.

In my opinion the best way to get the feel of a foreign place is through the eyes of a local, by getting to know someone in a foreign country, understand a lifestyle, and arrange hangout and activies! This app offers more than cheap accommodations, rather, it allows the chance to do good deeds as there really is more to life than money.

If you are looking for a host/hangouts in between the days of may13 to june 30, unfortunately i cannot host you as i am backpacking across italy and greece will be back on the 20th, then i will be moving to a new apartment for a brw start. I need time to be settled in. Anytime after i would be happy for hangouts, share stories, drinks, hikes, and can try to arrange living accommodations.

Feel free to connect with me through instagram @pestoitsmagic or if you have any questions just ask.

One last thing COUCH SURFING IS NOT A HOOKUP APP OR TINDER. My intentions are JUST TO HOST or couch surf and make F.R.I.E.N.D.S (like Chanler and Joey)

Cheers! 😊❤🇨🇦🇮🇳
