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!!
Hosting :
We are a couple, me and my partner, Sam, we will be hosting you in our apartment in Clermont-Ferrand with a private bedroom!

Thank you! Cheers!

Teach, Learn, Share

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.
I love cooking so it would be great to exchange our recipes and skills!

What I Can Share with Hosts

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.
