Hello! My name is Saurav Jha and I am an Erasmus Mundus scholar pursuing my masters in Dependable Software Systems at Univ of St. Andrews, Scotland.
I am new to Europe and therefore, want to travel as much as I can within my two years of masters' studies. I am interested in learning French as this would benefit me for my next year at Uni of Lorraine, Nancy, France.
I very much enjoy friend circles of diverse cultural backgrounds, talking about the Himalayas, and cooking Indo-Nepalese food (curries, noodles, etc.).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My primary motive for joining is to make friends from wide range of backgrounds, witness their lifestyles and learn as many good things as I can while in my early twenties!!
Having lived in countries other than my native land has taught me great elements of mutual respect and I am fond of expanding my knowledge further.
