I am currently doing a PhD in BioRobotics at the EPFL in Switzerland, finding ways to prevent ways to prevent injuries in sports using new technologies. I am a curious person and like to explore and learn about the world and people. I am an avid learner, I love trying out new things and challenging myself. I also like to take walks and often end up visiting beautiful yet less well-known spots wherever I live.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

To meet people, share experiences, interests, and stories. To travel and to create memories together :)
Traveling is a passion of mine and if someone is willing to offer me some shelter and their fellowship on this journey, I would be very happy and grateful.
Give-and-take is great a thing and I am more than happy to offer my coach for all you lovely people!

音乐、电影和书籍

Music:
I like rock psychedelic and progressive, indie songs and instrumental music (especially violin and flute)
Beatles are my favourite band, closely followed by Pink Floyd. Among Indian musicians, AR Rahman is favourite and Amit Trivedi, a close second.

Movies:
Movies a with an interesting plot, a fresh perspective, beautiful visuals, movies that pose questions and give me a little to think about. My favourites are - Wes Anderson and Martin Scorcese for live action and Pixar and Miyazaki for animated movies and I like sci-fi movies in general.

Books: Too many to list here. Currently, I am reading Steppenwolf.
some of my favourites - The outsider, Hitchhiker's guide to galaxy, The Catcher in the Rye, Siddartha, Shantaram, Brave New World, Paths of Glory, The Little Prince, Love in the time of Cholera

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I have driven a race car built by me and my friends, skydiving, walking/jogging/running 16 miles in San Francisco at midnight to catch the last train to Berkeley, dancing the night away on the New Years Eve at the Brandenburg gate party and witnessed my younger brother grow up to become an amazing person and an inspiration for me.

教，学，和分享

I can share what little knowledge and experience of photography I have and can take pictures of them in their favorite places in the city.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

My time, a willing ear and a host of interesting stories and experiences. A willingness to learn about the perspective of the host and their values and their favourite places in the city they live in.

And of course, my excitement and gratitude in meeting them!
