I'm a 4th year student of Energy Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT Bombay), in Mumbai, India. Currently spending this semester studying at Ecole CentraleSupelec, Paris for ERASMUS. While I'm here, I'd like to see as many places as I can around Europe before I have to go back to India in June.
I Love meeting new people in any kind of way, usually doing so with friends. I also am a big fan of good cooking (even though I'm on the process of learning) and am always in to try the local cuisines of the places I visit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To host new people whenever possible and show them my personal view of where I live, also giving lots of advice on life, numbers and everything.
Also to enjoy the possibility to do so with others, when I'm travelling around, which is a lot right now :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have lost myself in Venice with no phone and no address of the place where I live(it was on my phone whose battery died out on me). Was clicking a picturre while my friends were walking around and I waited too long to find I had lost them. Luckily enough, the "all roads lead to Rome" construction brought me to the main square where I could spot my friends and go home safe :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Mom's a teacher, so got some of that teaching in my veins. Have taught filmmaking to scores of students from all age groups, taught some basic math, love solving questions from my juniors. Also love to teach English to non native speakers.
Love to share advice on almost everything. Can talk for hours on a topic, you have to stop me if you want to escape my endless blabbering.
Trying to learn French and cooking.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Sense of life... What I believe in and why do I choose to believe in them. What shapes me, the questions that I ask and try to explore.

Apart from that I wish to share some cultural understanding of India, the politics, the art, the people of this wonderful and diverse land.
