Hello, lovely folks of the Couchsurfing community!

I am an Indian expat, now living in the beautiful and quiet city of Eindhoven, Netherlands. I came here for work, and has been love with the city ever since.

I recently bought a house in this city, and a room has been lying idle, yet furnished - which is why I thought of playing host!

I really enjoy travelling and also meeting and talking to people from diverse cultures. I have travelled to over 20 countries, and I am eager to travel more. I believe that all of my personal growth has come from travelling and meeting people from diverse backgrounds, culture and beliefs.

** HOUSE RULES **

1. No smoking or use of drugs inside the house.
2. You can use the kitchen and use some of our ingredients, but I won't be able to cook for you specifically. Of course, we could cook together if time permits.
3. Please keep the home and bathroom tidy.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

My goal as a host is to understand and offer help to people - I believe in paying it forward.

I believe that everyone can teach you something new and interesting. Remember "what is obvious to you is amazing to others". So, I am always looking to hear interesting stories and experiences. I think it's this exchange of stories and life experiences that makes us better human beings.

My only requirement - be kind and don't forget your sense of humour at home ;)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

1 - attended a Coldplay concert - it was one of the loveliest, most amazing shows I've been to.

2 - Went from being a couch potato to a 5k runner - it took a lot of patience and training :)

3 - NYE party with fellow couchsurfers in London. It was the most fun I've had in a long while, and I danced my heart out.

教，学，和分享

I've been an engineer all my life, so the best support I can provide is tech support :D

Jokes apart, I can join you in conversations about probably any topic under the sun. I love discussing anything related to tech, philosophy, the meaning of life, our purpose in this world and such :)

I'm also told that I'm a good photographer, and I'm happy to take pictures for you.

I also like to dance and I'm up to hit a club and break a leg at any time 😄
