Hello fellow travelers and hosts! 🌏

I hail from the vibrant city of Pune, India, and have been brought up amid its rich culture and traditions. My academic journey led me to study software engineering back home, and now, I'm pursuing my master's at Frankfurt UAS, Germany.

One of the things I genuinely treasure is engaging in insightful conversations. Whether it's about a place, a culture, or an experience, I'm all ears and have plenty of stories to share too. My passion doesn't end there; I'm an avid photographer 📷, always on the lookout for that perfect shot, capturing moments and memories. Probably end up spending too much time for the best shot. I'm also deeply intrigued by emerging technologies, always eager to learn and share about the latest advancements.

And oh, if you're up for some authentic Indian dishes, I love to cook 🍲! Sharing meals, I believe, is one of the purest forms of cultural exchange. Looking forward to meeting you

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Being on Couchsurfing for me is about so much more than just finding a place to stay or hosting someone. It's about the connections, the stories, and the shared experiences. I was recently inspired by a close friend who hosted a traveler. Witnessing the bond they formed in such a short time, the exchange of tales from their journeys, and the genuine cultural interactions they had, truly moved me. I'm eagerly looking forward to hosting someone soon, to not only offer them a slice of my world but also to learn and grow from their experiences. Additionally, the idea of visiting new places, not as a mere tourist but as someone who gets to see it through the eyes of a local, is immensely appealing. Through Couchsurfing, I hope to meet new folks, understand the world better, and share a piece of my own journey with others.

Music, Movies, and Books

Art
I have a deep affection for photography. The allure of encapsulating fleeting moments and immortalizing them in a frame drives me. Each photograph tells a story, and I relish the pursuit of that perfect snapshot that speaks volumes.

Books
My recent literary journeys have taken me into the mesmerizing worlds of Michael Ende and Franz Kafka. Their profound narratives and unique storytelling techniques have left an indelible mark on my reading experience.

Movies
I have an inclusive palate when it comes to films, embracing captivating stories from any corner of the world, irrespective of language. Recent standouts include "Kimino Nawa" and "Druk (Another Round)". Both films intrigued me with their distinct narratives and evocative storytelling.

Music
My musical tastes span decades, from the raw energy of 80s rock to the pulsating beats of 2020s rap. Recently, I've been swaying to the tunes of NENA, adding yet another layer to my eclectic playlist.
