CURRENT MISSION To explore the hidden gems of South America and Antarctica in 2025! Short-term mission: Skydive! ABOUT ME I am a 🏳️🌈 wanderer by soul who loves going around places, experiencing cultures, cuisines, people and traditions. I try to travel somewhere at least once in 2-3 months or so, usually with no fixed plan or agenda. My camera is my only companion on most solo trips, so I am always on a lookout for a travel mate or meet other travelers. I love clicking pictures, people, emotions, expressions and food. I am based in Austin, TX now, where I moved many years ago after staying in Boston & Brooklyn (NYC) for a few years. I am a huge admirer of the New England/East Coast area and I love the culture, history and people of this side of the country. PHILOSOPHY I am usually a happy-go-lucky person who likes to enjoy life as it comes, not thinking too much about the future, live each moment so to say. Apart from traveling and clicking, I sometimes sketch, listen to music which soothes my ears, try a lot of good food, enjoy live-music, stand-up comedy, talk to people and explore cultures. Also, I am a technology enthusiast and a gadget freak. I am NOT much a party person and prefer gatherings to be intimate and relaxing. Though am always up for occasional drinking nights with people I care about, depends on the company/mood. "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." So, be yourself!

Warum ich auf Couchsurfing bin
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Though I have been staying in home-stays and with local people while going around the Himalayas/India, am kinda a novice on CouchSurfing. I have hosted a few people as of now and also stayed with some amazing people during my travels in the US. The primary reason I look forward to couch-surfing is the fact that it lets you stay with a local, experience the place, exchange ideas, culture and food which no tours/hotels can ever provide. Be it tasting the Balut/Bulalo in a village in Philippines or make paper boats during Loi Krathong in Bangkok or hiking to Angel’s Landing in Zion National Park in Utah, a local experience is the most fascinating way to know a place and its culture. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Though I hosted few people when I lived in a shared house in Boston, however, now that I have my own place in Austin, I am hoping to host travelers more often. Regardless, I try to be available to meet up and show people around the city and its food scene if am free.
Musik, Filme und Bücher
Music: Coldplay, Jason Mraz, The Fray, Taylor Swift, Celine Dion, Christina Perri, Ed Sheeran, Birdy, A.R. Rahman, Kishore Kumar, Sonu Nigam, Asha Bhosle and many more. I don't have any specific favorite genres, I listen to anything that soothes my ears, more into soulful and relaxing music. TV: I have enjoyed and loved shows like Grey's Anatomy, Game of Thrones, Modern Family, Orange is the New Black, The Black Mirror, Friends, Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men, Empire, The Voice, the MasterChef series etc. Movies: I don't have a favorite genre as such. I mostly enjoy science fiction, thrillers, scary movies, light hearted romance and comedy. Many of my favorites are in different languages, would talk about them than type here, ask me! Books: never been much into it as I never could gather the patience to sit through and read. Wouldn't mind starting though, if you have some good recommendations. Starting to read John Green lately.
Eine tolle Sache, die ich getan habe
Well, there are many experiences, so, I would rather keep this part for our conversations when we meet! :)
Lehren, Lernen, Teilen
I can teach you to cook some Indian dishes or we can cook together. I can teach you to speak 3 Indian languages: Bengali, Hindi and Odiya. I can also teach you technology hacks and some geeky stuff if you are into technology, Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning.
Was ich mit Hosts teilen kann
I have lived and traveled across many counties in Asia and would love to share my stories (and lots of pictures, postcards!) about my travels, its people and the unique experiences I had. If I am free, I can cook some authentic Indian dishes or introduce you to some independent Indian music (not the common Bollywood) and cinema. Also, I can talk about the diversity, origin and evolution of languages and traditions in India and how faith, culture & belief-systems interplay in India/Asia etc. I can talk hours on technology, space science/physics, food, music, spices, cuisine, languages, culture, history and lesser-known facts about the countries and cultures I experienced.
Meine Interessen
I enjoy photography, live music, stand-up comedy, food/cuisines, technology/gadgets, cultural-exchange, camping, history, art etc. I am into communities, off-beat trails and non-touristy ways to explore a country/city. I am a big foodie and I love trying new cuisines and food, being an omnivore certainly helps here. Luckily, work has taken me around a lot and that has made me try a lot of cuisines and flavors. Can talk at length about my food adventures!
