Hi! I'm Saibal (pronounced Shoi-bal), originally from Calcutta, India. I've been living in Paris for about a year, and I'm loving every bit of it. My native language is English, speak about 4 other Indian languages, and I'm currently learning French. A cinéphile, I spend a lot of my time watching films or exploring the city's cinemas. Always happy to connect with new people and share experiences!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Adventure is best shared, and I believe the world feels smaller (and cozier) when we swap stories, not just souvenirs. Plus, who doesn’t love discovering a city through someone else’s eyes, and maybe their couch too?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I convinced a street vendor to trade me a kebab for a magic trick. Best meal I ever ‘disappeared.’"

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach new perspectives, learn from every story, and share experiences that go beyond just a couch. Let’s make the world a little smaller, one stay at a time.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A knack for making coffee strong enough to wake the neighbors, and endless travel stories, some true, some I might just make up for fun. I’ll help with dishes, teach you how to say random phrases in weird languages, and if you’re feeling brave, I can try cooking something that’s almost edible.
