Hello! My name is Krish and I've grown up in New Delhi for the most part of my life. I've been studying in Switzerland for the last couple of years. I'm a friendly and outgoing person who prides himself on being able to talk to anyone and make them have a laugh. I love meeting new people and going to new places. I'm a very relaxed traveler and have next to no hang-ups. While I love meeting new people, I also understand the importance of respecting peoples' space.

I also have no idea where my life is headed, but as long as I can have Pizza every now and then, I'm good...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Aren't all the best stories the ones you have from when you traveled?

I'm formally joining Couchsurfing as a denouement to my approach to traveling in the past. Wherever I've traveled, I've been hosted by the most generous and magnanimous people -some of whom have come to become some of my closest friends. The reciprocity afforded to people who travel for the love of experiencing something new is best embodied in the spirit of this website. Me casa will always be su casa.

Also, what's the point of going somewhere if you can't really experience how people live and what they do... and the best way to do it is (politely) barge into someone else's life for a day or two.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Entirely eclectic - ranges from Classical and Jazz to Hip-hop and Ambient, to everything in between. Nothing beats a melodious beat; something that resonates within you and evokes an emotion or a memory. The renewed lyrical-poetry of Rap is what I'm exploring these days.

Movies: Once again, eclectic. Hard to imagine someone restricting their taste of movies to a single genre. But a few honorable mentions would include: The Intouchables (The French one), One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, Anything by Guy Ritchie, etc.

Books: Fiction would comprise of a lot of humour - think David Sedaris and Bill Bryson. Non-fiction would mostly relate to my academic research, so, a lot of philosophy, behavioural psychology and criminology,

But, I'd rather explore this with you!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
