About Me

Live and let live. You can find me either in a book or coding (pays for my living, so kinda have to) or trekking usually.

Confident and inquisitive.

Did my MSc in Sustainable Energy in the Netherlands and now I am heading off to South Africa for my job. But one last Europe trip on the cards. Let the games begin!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Right now to meet interesting and fun people on my mini-Europe trip before I head to South Africa!

Interests

A David Attenborough fan - I have seen almost all of his and all the wildlife shows.

Trekked the Himalayas - Roopkund - 15,545 ft - I love exploring nature through treks - want to enroll in a mountaineering course and climb one of the great peaks.

The world we live in is heavily dependent on each other and can benefit massively if everybody improves their quality of life. As such, I am interested in public health, politics and sustainability, specifically Africa and creating opportunities for people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to diverse music - can range from John Mayer to Drake to Pink Floyd to AC/DC to regional Indian songs. It's a long list....

Movies: Seven, Pay It Forward, The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, Serpico

Books: Mainly non-fiction: Deng Xiaoping, Factfulness
Funny, original and insightful - a must read - Born A Crime

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ran half-marathons from home to office to spread word on pollution, climate change and car pooling - ended up crowdfunding my tickets to USA for a climate conference to meet Al Gore!

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn French, surfing, hip-hop dance and a martial art for self defense when I get to South Africa.

I taught Physics for underpriviledged students for free back in India.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Can cook good Indian food.

I tend to know weird but awesome animal facts - can finish a world puzzle if the pieces have photos of the local animals.

Countries I’ve Visited

Countries I’ve Lived In
