Hey!
I am Pukhraj from Mumbai, India.. but currently living in Jyvaskyla Finland. I am here for the next two years, studying my Masters in Educational Leadership. I have never done any sort of Couch Surfing and so, I am excited and anxious about doing the same.
I live in a student housing and have a room for myself so, I dont think I can accept guests for now, but If you are okay with sleeping on the extra single bed in my room, I will be happy to host you.
Apart from being passionate about Education and Development sector efforts, I love dancing, photography, making new friends and absorbing myself in the culture of the places I visit. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing to find people who like to travel and make new friends from all around the world. Frankly, I am not the most comfortable with this idea, but I want to push myself and get over my fears! :)

Also, as mentioned above by living with locals, I want to be able to see what life really looks and feels like in a city and find all the hidden places to visit!

Interests

I enjoy learning about food, culture and history of a place. I am all about exploring places, meeting new people and having new experiences. You can find some of my experiences on my photoblog:: mywanderlustway.wordpress.com

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:: Anything that can be danced on.. particularly enjoying Macklemore and Alt J. songs at this moment! And oh, my new found favourite Finnish artist:: Antti Tuisku

Movies:: Rom Coms, Unrealistic Fiction and Inspirational Movies:: Bridget Jones, Easy A, When Harry met Sally, 13 going on 30, Transformers, Magic Mike, Selma, Bucket list.. basically I don't find the need to like only one kind of Genre in movies and music.

Books: Harry Potter, Twilight (yes! ;\); Alchemist, The Kite Runner.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ummm.. Scuba dive?

I guess I need to do more.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach how to cook Indian meals,
Blabber about Education/Life should look like for our future kids,
Get drunk and act silly,
Make random experiences which we both will cherish for the rest of our lives.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Everything I wrote above.. Though I am not looking for weird hookups or anything like that!
I am committed. ;)
