About Me

I am a materials engineer studying steels and I recently started working with Aluminium. Nowadays I am learning a lot of math and programming so that I can design better materials :D
I like to travel, hike, read books, music and movies. I am also interested in photography, though I am not so skilled at it. I am a fair cook and can cook basic dishes.
I am somewhere in between an introvert and an extrovert. It depends on the person who I am interacting with, as to how much I will open up.

I have recently moved to a town called "Braunau am Inn". It is quite small and currently I don't know many people here!
So it would be nice to meet some new people.
The town is close to Salzburg (1.5 hours) and Munich (2 hours).

I like hiking and as I am in a country of mountains, I try to go hiking regularly. This allows me to see different remote places and I travel quite a bit by public transport. So if you looking for hiking in Germany or Austria, let me know!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had gone to Ladakh in 2015 and it is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Then, I had stayed with locals and it was amazing experience. I got to know how they live, what do they do, also I got to know about what they think of other places (like the place from where I come from). They also helped me a lot and gave really good suggestions for going around places in ladakh.
This is how I want to travel. Where I get to meet nice local people to share my travel experiences with.
I think couchsurfing helps me achieve this and that's why I am here.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books- "Thousand Splendid Suns" and "Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini

Teach, Learn, Share

I am always interested to learn new languages. So it would be great if you can help me learn words of your mother tongues!
I can teach you about metals. I already know some languages - so I can teach you languages which you might not have heard before.
Being from India I love sharing food. So if you stay with me you might get some nice food that I cook!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some indian foods. I am indian, so can cook some simple indian dishes. Some knowledge about metals (can be boring though :P). I can teach Hindi, Gujurati and Marathi to hosts. I am pretty good at English as well and I would love to converse in German or Dutch as well. Suggestions for travelling in Netherlands, India, Germany.
