I wander. I observe. I float.
Recently, a student of space engineering and robotics, printing my feet over as much as Europe. Lived in Bavaria, moved to the cold far north and lived through the arctic winter in Kiruna and the midnight sun. Ended up in Prague, trying to chase art, science, people and stones. (I picked up climbing here.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Why not? We're all one big family, that's what I was taught, growing up. Either way, this has proved to be a great way to meet and befriend people.

And it's good to know I can always look to this community for an interesting time in a new place.

Interests

Trekking the mountains, followed by a lazy beach trip does it for me. But the mountains, always.
In the city, I while away with my music on the guitar, or vacillate between buying a flute or a violin, or run, especially in the rains.
I read. Too much for my own good. And write, much lesser than I really want to.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many. I'm a sucker for historical novels. Anything that doesn't end up in the 'best-seller' list at railway stations, as an easy filter to what I've read. Musashi was my most recent favorite.

Good sounds catch my ears. Anything from Indian classical sounds in the Raag Malhar to French trip-hop and the melancholy of Olafur Arnald's Oberheim. Anything good, goes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trekking the Himalayas. Spent a fortnight around Annapurna in 2014, and a month hiking the glaciers and trails around Everest (in the Solukhumbu) in winter 2017. Easily the best time in the recent past that I've had.
Also spent a winter of awe and rapture staring at auroras almost every night, living in Arctic Sweden for half a year.

Teach, Learn, Share

Stories of India, its people, the culture. Conversations ranging from the mundane to the i-don't-know-what-we're-talking-about. Anything music, culture, and languages.
You will DEFINITELY get to taste some Indian cuisine, especially South Indian.

I'm in to learn anything. Teach me a magic trick, or to balance stones, or any random little hack, really. Tell me where you're from, and start teaching me your language. I'll learn, however little. I hear I have a knack for it; something I am yet to take advantage of.
