Hello, my name is Aviral, I'm 32 years old, grew up in India, but moved to Canada about 4 years ago. I love meeting people, good food, music and laughter. I am inquisitive by nature and always like to learn and experience new things and form new bonds.

I recently relocated to Calgary, Alberta from Mississauga, Ontario as per the requirements from my employer, and to be honest I am loving the change. I appreciate the relaxed and considerate pace with which Calgary moves and the nature’s bounty all around.

From work perspective, I work in IT though it has numbed my individuality into a cog of the grand old machine. Now trying to break free and regain my self because really “you only live once!” XD

If you speak English or Hindi, we will be able to communicate flawlessly. I have a healthy interest in Japanese language as well because of the countless anime’s I have watched over the years.

I am an affable person and I try to get along with everyone! I enjoy listening and learning from everyone I make connections with, though I am yet to make connections here in this community.

FOR HOSTS:
I will be honest I don’t have much experience as I again got lost with work and life stuff even though I joined here a while back. I recently learned that I am supposed to call myself a surfer but I would rather prefer to call myself a friend “in-progress”. I can adapt and adjust quite quickly and I have no expectations. I am fine with small spaces. Be it a twin bed or a mattress on floor or futon or even a couch - it doesn't matter!

If you are on a schedule or busy, don’t worry I am independent enough to enjoy and explore on my own, but if you have some free time then I am happy to share it with you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet amazing people and hosts on my travels and share my journey and anecdotes with them. To form bonds with new friends and to make memories to remembers for years long while recording my journey for posterity.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Decided to take the plunge to move to Canada. And in progress of another one - rediscovering travelling and vlogging

Teach, Learn, Share

I can try to teach Hindi language if anyone’s interested. I would also like to learn French, Japanese and German languages as they fascinate me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories about my life and experiences, laughter and joy. Helping them out with activities like household chores. I can also cook. Though my specialty is Indian cuisine but I do know some standard global foods and dishes.
