Hey, I'm Malhar, currently enjoying life in the coastal town of Galway. I am open-minded and easy-going, with an immense love for travel, and I'm always looking for opportunities to explore new places and meet like-minded people.

I enjoy simple things: prefer the outdoors to indoors. Love: hiking, sea swimming, road trips, I LOVE COFFEE, whiskey, football (Liverpool FC), mental health, mindfulness, spirituality, all animals but crazy about dogs, woods, and good food. I'd love to stay at places that are non-touristy, remote, and amidst nature.

I am neither introverted nor extroverted all depends on the vibes and mood. Currently working in Corporate, but I will be starting a new career in Psychology soon. 🧠

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting good people from all around the world makes me happy and fills me with hope. I admire the simple and beautiful idea of an exchange without money. I'm just putting it out here to ensure like-mindedness : I've met some incredible people through couchsurfing who have gone on to become my friends. I am seeking genuine connections and friends, not just a budget place to sleep.

Interests

I am very active, be it hiking, running, or the gym. I love cooking and even more eating, being lost in nature or walking down a very busy street, as well as sharing a meal, enjoying a glass of whisky or watching a movie/football on my couch.

Music, Movies, and Books

My film and TV tastes are also very diverse and again it all depends on the mood. Big fan of Marvel Movies, Star Wars, Fight Club! I usually like sitcoms like HIMYM, The office is my favourite, etc.

Books - anything psychology!, Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, 1984, the Bible. The book The Midnight Library by Matt Haig significantly changed my thinking.

I am always happy to receive book recommendations.
