Why I'm on Couchsurfing
To make new friends all around the world I love couchsurfing and I believe this is the best way to travel (for me). I did host few times when I was in Oman and was fortunate to meet amazing humans in my travels through CS. I can host you if I'm in my home town in Kerala :) If you couldn't contact me here.

Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you Malayalam - one of the toughest languages in the world haha. I can share my cool/wierd/crazy travel stories from hitchhiking around Iran, Central Asia.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I don't believe CS is free hotel! The reason I use CS is to spend time with the hosts - talking to them, understanding their life and culture, and share a wonderful time together. However, if you are busy with your work or studies and can't really share time or hangout, I am fine with that too - I am really flexible. I can manage my food but if you are thinking about preparing a meal, I am more than happy to join you in the cooking and I can do the dishes :)
My Interests
Living with locals wherever I go and trying to experience their life and culture :) History was the most boring subject for me when I was in School but now I spent more time understanding the history of the places I visit. I love food and always try to experience local food. I also love movies and travel documentaries :)
