An avid traveller looking to explore the world and different cultures.

Grew up in Bengal, then moved abroad for a few years. Now back in a new part of my country, which is yet unknown to me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Every place has some unique elements which is known to the locals. CS helps in getting acquainted with them and obtaining hands-on information on these. Besides, making new friends is of course a plus.

Interests

Looking to try out different cuisines, and get a feel of the cities from insiders point of view. Enjoying the scenic beauties and the nightlife at different corners of the world .. trying to learn to play the ukulele without much success as yet. Also trying to learn a bit of german for my cologne tour. I somehow have a feeling that unless I live in a city for 6 months or more i can never have a real experience of it. The only way out might be couchsurfing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Country, soft rock. Was a crazy fan of Dylan at a point. Even now he sometimes can bring out that nostalgia.

Recently more into nonfiction, but thrillers are an all time favorite. Currently reading switching between spy thrillers and critically acclaimed books.

Was a late starter in tv series, but catching up..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Camping in a mountain, forest and sand dunes on consecutive days.

Another experience, though not amazing, but quite an eventful one, was hitting a police car who was trying to get in front of me while I was speeding. Kind of rattling, but nevertheless something to put onto my cv...

Teach, Learn, Share

Looking to learn about other cultures, and hopefully a bit of new languages too. Can talk about different aspects of India.

What I Can Share with Hosts

On days I'm free, can take you around the city. I can cook bengali cuisine quite well, and can also talk about Indian culture.
