Hey there! I’m Sri Raman, a student from India currently doing my master’s in Mechanical Engineering at TU Delft in the Netherlands. Living in the "land of bikes" has fueled my love for biking! I’m passionate about cooking (especially Indian dishes like my specialty, biryanis and curries), and I love hiking, exploring new places, and sketching in my free time. Check out my Instagram @ala_sri_raman to see my travel adventures and sketches. I’m also a non-smoker and, like to keep things tidy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hey! I'm new to Couchsurfing. I had my first experience a few months ago through Bewelcome when I was hosted in Paris. That trip was a real eye-opener! I got to see the city from a local perspective, which made me feel more involved and connected to the culture. It was so much more than just sightseeing. I loved sharing my own culture and Indian food with my hosts, and I realized that Couchsurfing is a great way to have meaningful exchanges. I’m excited to continue this journey, meet new people, and learn more about different ways of life!
