I am a doctoral candidate at IIT-Delhi. Am a voracious reader and cinephile. I look forward to visiting new places, meet the locals and learn about their culture and pick a sentence or two in their language(s).

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

It is an interesting platform to meet new people, learn about their country, culture and ways of life. I have met some really amazing people here. Also, exploring a place from the vantage of the locals is the best way to discover and experience it.
