I am Rishik Mani Tripathi, 29 years of age. I currently am a student pursuing my master's from Bielefeld University, Germany. I am studying Intelligent Systems (Artificial Intelligence) at the university. Germany is my third country of stay after India and UAE (Dubai).

I love to program to create a solution for real life problems. I also love playing volleyball, badminton and table-tennis. I enjoy playing video games on my laptop. If you have FIFA, may be we can test each other out. ;)

Individually I am a peaceful and clean guy. I am Hindu by religion but atheist by ideology. I enjoy singing and wanted to become a professional singer rather than engineer. I love companies of thoughtful people, people who crave about good food and dogs. I love to cook often and so could offer something to you as well. I also love to talk about the deep philosophical shit. I do not drink and smoke.

The more you travel the more you learn.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

During my last trip across Germany I didn't know anything about Couchsurfing. Unfortunately, I missed up the chance to get to know so many new people. I am planning to travel to Italy from 16-23 Aug. Based on suggestions of my friends from Italy, I have planned to travel Venice, Florence, Roma and Napoli.

I am a student by profession, so a little tight on expenses. Couchsurfing would be the best platform for me to meet new people, see life with someone's else perspective and talk over food, politics, generation gap, and also travel without worrying much about expenses.

I know that my profile is incomplete and unverified, but please give me a chance and you would not be disappointed. In return as a friendly token, I might cook something for you from Indian cuisine.
