About Me

My life revolves around cooking, going on long bike rides on my beautiful bikes, training with my Kettlebells, Clubs and Mace, reading about history, psychology, all kinds of stories from all over the world and spending lots of time by the river. I like to go to Techno clubs sometimes. Interested in Permaculture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One year ago I found a full time job after my Masters studies in Germany and finally I was happy to have an entire apartment to myself. But then I realised that I am a person much happier with roomates around me. Thats what this basically is - I would love to have temporary roommates. I would like to have someone to share a coffee with every once in a while, talk a bit, share a few stories. Also, would love to show you around Bonn and Köln.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Before Corona me and my two buddies went for the "Tour de Mont Blanc" which is a hike which goes around the mountain Mt Blanc and goes through 3 countries - France, Switzerland, Italy. Extremely beautiful and we were wildcamping the entire time, so it was a good amount of adventure.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A nice and comfortable apartment with high ceilings and big windows in a quiet neighborhood quite close to the River Rhine. I have a nice collection of mostly English books. I have 3 bikes. So you can go around explore the city on it. I am a fairly decent cook (Indian, European, Balkan, Asian, Arabian dishes generally). I offer pleasant company and healthy conversations :)

Countries I’ve Visited

France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Switzerland

Countries I’ve Lived In

Germany, India
