About Me

****** IMPORTANT INFORMATION ****** (the following few lines will help you get accepted :-)

✅ I live with my flatmate Jismon (profile:https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/jismon13?action=show&controller=user_profiles) in an apartment that is about 15 min. away from the city center by metro
✅ Please indicate your ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) in your request
✅ If you plan to arrive after 10 pm (also during your stay), please talk to me about it.
✅ If you are travelling with other people, please include their CS profile in your request, I strongly prefer hosting people with an active profile
✅ It would be amazing if you could cook a dish from your home country while you stay with us
✅ Since we sometimes host more than one person, I cannot guarantee you a private room
✅ Please leave everything the way you found it or better :)

If you agree with the information said above, your chances are quite high to be hosted. Your chances will increase if you mention something avocado-related in your request.

🎼 I love music and listen to it all the time
🌍 I have a serious case of #wanderlust and #fernweh (opposite of homesickness, distancesickness)
