Hello guys!!!
I am a curious person and wants to know, learn and understand things I am not familiar with and meeting and talking to people (along with reading books) is a good way to feed my curiosity.
I love hiking, cooking, I do sports (volleyball and badminton) I wish to run more often thank I do and I love camping. I am more of a outdoor person. I am keen to know different cultures, languages as well as food 🤤 and if not travelling myself I get to know these from meeting travellers. I am easy-going and cheerful person and crack lame jokes (sorry).
I am from India and have lived in Spain before! Moved to France in October 2022. And making Clermont-Ferrand home for the next I-don’t-know-how-long!!
Thank you! Cheers!

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

I started using couchsurfing after hearing positive things from a friend who hosted two travelers for a night. I was always interested in the idea of CS but was not sure (for many not so positive reasons) but after using it myself I have learned to recognize the beauty of it (disregarding un-pleasant experiences). I want to be part of (teeny tiny) this wonderful idea of CS and assure people (at least few) that yess, the world is beautiful and people are kind and to make travelling experiences wonderful.

Insegna, impara, condividi

I have gotten pretty good at cooking so I can teach cooking (Indian and little bit of Spanish).
I like sharing experiences and stories more than anything.
I am curious about anything and everything so I will ask and talk about random things.
Human behaviors and evolution and cultural behavior is something I love to observe and learn because it fascinates me.

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa

I am sure I have a lot to talk about the cultural diversity and languages as I grew up in India and spent a quite a lot of time in Spain and now living in France!
I love talking about science (I am a researcher). I am very good at making shy people comfortable as I know how it is to be the shy one.
