"If you're not happy being where you are, move. You're not a tree. " :)

That was something someone said to me once when I was unhappy with my life situation and that thought stuck.

From being stuck in a dead-end job, stuck at home due to COVID lockdowns in India, I made decisions and took calculated risks which brought me here to finish my Masters and learn more about who I am.

Today, I am committed to living my life to the fullest. While I am yet to master the local language, I love participating in local traditions such as the Carnival.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Probably because I don't want to stay someplace alone and want someone local to help/guide me.

Interests

I am through and through outdoorsy kinda guy. I love hiking. Once a week is the very minimum, I like to hit the trails.

I am also interested in history and what shapes a city/town the way it does. If I am visiting your city, I am most likely going to be spending some time admiring the architecture and sights of the city.

Also big on local cuisine and have a decent spice tolerance.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't know what I can teach you besides not taking life too seriously :) I would absolutely like to learn something from you, perhaps some key phrases from your language? 😊

What I Can Share with Hosts

My company and bad jokes. Seriously though, I would love being shown around and happy to buy you a few drinks. 😀
