Originally from Mumbai, India I now work for an NGO in the health sector in Paris. I've been living in Paris for nearly 4 years now. I came from India to do a Masters at SciencesPo and then found a job. I like going to the cinema, concerts and reading novels (in both English and French). Like you, I'm interested in different cultures and meeting new people. I speak several languages (English, French, Hindi and one regional language). If you'd like a small payment of 10/15 EUR per night, I'd be happy to do that too! (This is my first experience of Couchsurfing so I'm still navigating through it all). I am also very neat and tidy, respectful of privacy and will abide to any home rules that there may be, as you are the host.

I hope to hear from you soon,
Best regards,
Rahul

Music
I'm literally into all sorts of music. Off late its been a lot of electronic and chill music, but I love hard rock, indie rock, metal, jazz and a tiny bit of hip hop too! I could list some artists but the list would be a little too long. Although the band 'The Used' have been an all time favourite ever since the age of 10! In the recent years I've enjoyed listening to a lot of Deadmau5, among other electronic artists. Petit Biscuit from France is a current favourite!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2016, I went on a month long Euro tour with my brother across 5 countries (namely: Sweden, Denmark, France, Switzerland and Hungary)! I had the time of my life and met some very warmhearted people! We visited such beautiful cities, towns and villages across Europe. I'm never going to forget the journey I had.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn to cook better, I speak
I'm also good with trivia and love sharing fun and random facts that come to my head

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would simply love to share and discuss about Indian culture with the hosts ! I wouldn't mind giving a helping hand for small tasks such as gardening/helping around the house/farming/taking care of the pets. I'll be more than pleased to do
