Hi, this is Sandip from West Bengal, currently living in Hyderabad, India. Originally I am hailed from the birthplace of Sri Ramakrishna, Kamarpukur, a popular tourist spot in Bengal. My mother tongue is Bengali, although I am comfortable in English and Hindi and at the beginner stage of the German and Telegu language.

By profession, I am an Electronics Engineer, currently pursuing a Ph.D. and a software developer in an MNC company.

Travelling is my passion, so is to meet up new people from a diverse background. Some of the previous solo trips are available here:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to explore new places as much as I can with a minimal budget criterion. It helps to interact with locals for understanding the culture in a better way. I am also curious to meet people from different backgrounds to enrich my exposure.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Country songs and instrumental. Favourite artists and band include Steven Wilson, Chester, PF, PoF and so on...

Movies: Travelogue type and funny comedy

Books: Diaries and short stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did a lot of solo trips in the odd season which enhanced my interests to this mother nature day by day. Some popular trips were like to round trip around NJP-Kalimpong-Sikkim-Darjeeling-Dooars-NJP, Netarhat Hill Station, Aizawl and surrounding highlands, Purulia and Ghatshila etc.
