I volunteer at Patanjali Yogpeeth in Haridwar 🕉️ and travel frequently for work, including as a translator for business meetings 🌍. I dislike staying in hotels 🏨 and prefer to host or be hosted by interesting people 🤝. I'm a tall 6f3 (191cms), s 💪 who practices physical exercise regularly 🏋️‍♂️. I’m a taekwondo black belt and karate instructor 🥋 (link: [USKAWB.org](http://USKAWB.org)), 🤾🏿‍♂️handball coach and referee of WBSHBA, 🏀⛹🏿‍♂️basketball coach WBBA, so you can feel safe during your stay. I go to bed early 🌙 and wake up at 5:30 am every day ⏰, and I expect my guests to follow this routine if possible. I love homemade food 🍲, my mom cooks. I am unmarried and I can cook a good vegetarian meal in under an hour 👨‍🍳. I enjoy interacting with people 🗣️, listening to their stories 📖, and learning new skills ✨. If you’re a quiet type and prefer personal space, my home may not be the best fit for you. Hosting Guidelines: - I do not charge for hosting 🚫💰. If you wish to contribute to food expenses, that’s appreciated but not required. - If I've invited you, I will host you 🤗. If you have a hosting reference (even 1-2), I may host you, but no last-minute requests ⏳. If you're certified on Couchsurfing without references, I may host you, but no last-minute requests 📅. I generally host for 1-3 days ⏱️, as it takes time to get to know each other. Regular interaction is important to me before hosting 🤝. One of my Polish guests stayed for 56 days, and now we both speak a bit of each other’s language 🇵🇱🇮🇳! References: I value references 📝 and usually write them within 15 days while my memory is fresh 🧠. If we have a good experience, I’ll write a detailed reference about what happened during your stay 📜. Mission: I've hosted over +85 Couch surfers in my home in Kolkata 🏠, and I want to help others to travel 🌏. **Philosophy:** Life is a onetime opportunity take it if you get the chance, and don’t hesitate 🚀. To show that you've read everything and agree to follow the house rules, please mention my two areas of expertise related to ancient healing and martial arts when you make your request. Now, the passkey is *ancient healing and martial arts*,” which subtly refers to Ayurveda and karate. This way, only those who read your profile carefully will understand the reference.
