I love to be a student because I love to know more. Knowing about anything and everything around me keeps me always excited and thats why I looove travelling.

The Nerdy Me: Studying Masters in Intelligent Adaptive Systems in Hamburg University. Even though this a pure techie master degree profile, I am not that a techie 😉 Sharing what I have learned even more excites me. Talking with me is the best way to get to know me…

The energy in me never puts me to sleep, even when I want to. I have this intrinsic motivation that flows endlessly and till today I haven’t figured out how am I so self-motivated to do things. You can never find me sitting idle and I totally agree with my dad when he says ‘If you can’t see her doing something, then at least she is sneezing to keep herself busy’. So motto here is ‘Get super busy and passionate about what you do’…

I like to write a lot even though I am not a great writer. I wanted to write about a few things that I come across in my life and that’s why I also have a blog. https://soniyavkumar.wordpress.com/
Trying to focus on travel stories and art in here.

Painting is what I am passionate about too. Have taken it to the next level with an ambition to create a 25 series painting. The art loving travellers, I would love to talk about this and also learn from you guys.

Travelling is what I get excited about, any day and any time. To say more, long walks with my camera and a bunch of new people in new places is may favourite way to explore new places….

Family is my strength and they have made me what I am. I love them. And the latest edition to my family is my little doggo, Peppy The Lab.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Absorbing new cultures is just too amazing and too exciting for me. That would mean I hate being a tourist when I am traveling. I am always on a backpack trip and never a toursit. And, YES, CS is the best place to be as local as possible and to meet the ones who love to care and share about their own life and culture.

I too have quite a stories to share as I have been traveling for the past 8 years. Sadly, didnt discover CS till recent :(
