Currently an Astronomy student, and a Couchsurfing newbie, whose other name would be Shawarma Shenoy (hey, if you are what you eat!)

I love listening (to everything geeky or not) and am told to be extremely chatty and spontaneous!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to meet new people, yes, but also to experience backpacking with locals, and people with different mindsets. I’m here in Europe for the first time and can’t wait to travel to all these amazing countries!

( Oh and hi, in case you forgot, this isn’t Tinder, thanks )

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lately, I’ve been solo-travelling across Europe on a shoestring budget (university education keeps me confined to Leiden at other times)

Teach, Learn, Share

When I travel, I love to learn about the culture and history of the place. And even otherwise, would love to get insider details about your country! Tell me about local food you relish, the nasty government, tourist hacks, and everything else that I may or may not find on google!

I can teach you some words in Indian languages (although Indian itself isn’t a language :P)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Since you know now that I’m chatty, I hope for good conversations, and can offer you a taste of Indian food! I’m all ears for everything you have to say (or not) I am a firm believer in the importance of ‘me-time’ so feel free to me kick me out whenever ;)

Due to my current living situation, I can only host one person at a time, sorry about that!
