Based in London.

I love talking to people! Everyone has a story to tell and I really enjoy knowing their stories, there is so much to learn and find about each other from them. Some of the great experiences I have had are with people I met randomly in trains, planes, hostels or even walking on the road.

I am Abhi, originally from India and for my love of cheese, became French. I grew up in India, came to Paris for my Masters (in Management) and ended up liking the city so much that I ended up staying for more than 6 years. I am also an amazing photographer.

I of course like to travel and manage to do decent bit of it: 2014, I visited 18 countries, all the while maintaining a full time job. 2015, 15!

I am quite an energetic and lively person who likes to have conversations, explore new places, meet new people and loves good food! Also, I am vegetarian.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I like travelling and when I travel, I want to experience the place rather than just visiting it and I find that the best way to do is by interacting with the locals, staying with them, doing what they do and participating in how they live.

音乐、电影和书籍

Movies: I watch tons of them and they need to have a good plot. If drama, all the better. Some of the movies I liked are - Red Dragon series, Warriors, Nightcrawler, Gone Girl

Books: I read a lot, from fiction to history to personality. Some of my favourite books/authors are:
- Dostoevsky's The Karamazov Brothers
- Mitch Albom, particularly - The five people you meet in heaven
- Khaled Hosseini

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Safari in the Masai Mara by myself for a full 8 days! This was an amazing experience. Staying in the middle of the jungle without any fences and where there were lions, hippos and leopards close by. Seeing the animals in action - Lions chasing Cheetahs, Python swallowing a deer, Crocodiles catching Zebras crossing the Mara river, just to name a few.
