CURRENT MISSION:
Make some friends in Karlsruhe, and also start hosting people on CS (now that I have a big apartment :P). And meanwhile, also travel across Europe :)

ABOUT ME:
After spending 23 years of my life in India, and a semester (exchange) in the USA, I moved to Hamburg, Germany in 2013 to pursue my higher education. Hamburg, being such a beautiful hanseatic city, and the second largest in Germany, turned out to be an amazing city to live in. Hamburg taught me a lot. I made lot of local and international friends, experienced different cultures, experienced the friendliness of Germans, and much more. As of June 2017, I moved to Karlsruhe, for my new job. I like Sun, so after living 3.5 years in Hamburg which most of the time has a cloudy (depressing) weather, I am very happy to have moved to Karlsruhe, one of the sunniest cities in Germany with a dedicated full time Summer :).

I'm a very easy going guy, and always open to experiencing new things. I like meeting new people, and hear their stories(the good and the embarassing ones :P). I love making and executing spontaneous plans. I listen to music almost all the times, except when working. I'm currently trying to learn to play a guitar. Technology fascinates me, so I would consider myself a bit of tech geek and gadget freak 🤓. I'm an Automation (Mechatronics) engineer by profession with a great deal of interest in Science.

I watch lot of movies, and often forget their names within a week. My other interests are biking around the city, chilling at the lakes/gardens. I'm very fond of all types of animals and had have owned cats, dogs, turtles, tortoises, fishes, parrots, mices, rabbits as pets. As a child, my favorite TV channel was Animal Planet.

HOSTING:
I can offer a couch to any travelers to Karlsruhe. The couch turns into a double bed, hence I can easily host up to 2 people in my apartment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people from all around the world, learn about their culture, their point of views and opinions, and hear about their wonderful life experiences.
