I am Shamik, from Kolkata, INDIA, traveling is oxygen for me, now came to Stockholm, Sweden for a few months to work, I work in a IT Company(Capgemini), and in the next few months, I want to explore European culture and places from Stockholm as much as possible.
In India, I explore a lot, solo, with family, or in all possible ways.
I did a few treks in the Himalayas, I love cooking, and I play computer games too.
I am quite new to the couchsurfing concept which makes me feel surprised that how could I not have known this earlier. I have stayed with two person where I have had a wonderful experience that I can remember always.

Right now I am staying in a temporary office accommodation in Stockholm, where I cannot bring guests, but once I go back to India I will host.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to explore places through the eyes of local people, with whom I can share my travelling experience and my little cooking experience.
As I travel solo, I prefer to stay in homestays in India, but when I came in Europe I found stay is costly over here, and reading blogs find me Couchsurfing ideas where I can share my experience and knowledge, so now I am here.
