I am currently living in Bolzano. I’m easy-going once I get to know the person I'm dealing with. I love to try new things and I love adventures. I'm a staunch believer of doing what I like, I am a civil engineer, but gave up a job to volunteer in a nonprofit organisation. I was part of an effort to promote rationality, scientific enquiry and humanism. My motto in life is to keep on learning, no matter what it is, I always strive to seek knowledge.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

My favourite parts of trips are the discovery of nature's overwhelming beauty by bike/hiking/camping etc, as well plunging into big city life, wandering about, and watch it live, hear its sounds, smell its flavours, feel its energy, and meet its people. And that's where couchsurfing comes in.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

Favourite music is too hard, I love everything from Hindustani classical to metal to rap. One of the most appealing aspects of music is the percussion for me.

I enjoy reading, although I do less than I would like to. I enjoy theatre very much.

Movies and TV series are my fav passtime. Its like chewing gum for the eyes.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Teaching kids of grade - 4 and 5.

I always believed that to understand the problems plaguing rural India, I needed grassroots experience. So, in 2012, I joined Nirmaan Organization, a nonprofit working on the issues of education and livelihood. I worked 3 years in a community for eradicating child labour, admitting the kids in schools, and creating, in them, a liking for education by interactive and innovative teaching methods.
