By day, I’m focused on my PhD and working as a Data Scientist, but outside of that, I’m often diving into psychology, anthropology, listening to podcasts, or enjoying stand-up comedy. I love deep conversations on any topic and really enjoy discussing ideas and observations. I’d describe myself as very open-minded! :)

Traveling to new places and meeting people from different cultures is a huge passion of mine. Right now, I’m living in the beautiful city of Bergen, Norway, but I’m originally from Bihar, India. Growing up, my father’s transferable job took us to six different cities across India, which sparked my curiosity and love for exploration!

Philosophy:
Life has no inherent meaning, and that’s the beauty of it. I believe we should live in harmony with nature, avoiding actions that disrupt its balance. Our desire to help others, in my view, is nature’s way of preserving equilibrium.

Hosting:

I generally don’t host people who haven’t hosted anyone before, unless they’re first-timers or have a strong reason. To me, this is a platform for both hosting and surfing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a great platform which unites people from different countries, It is a great platform to visit a country, while at the same time making great friends with the host! I am excited about it :D

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy indie rock music, whether it's in Hindi, English, French, German, or any language—it doesn’t matter to me! I also love suspense and psychological thrillers, though I tend to get bored watching movies alone, so I prefer watching them with others.

When it comes to books, I’m open to exploring different topics like history, economics, psychology, AI, or anything unique I can find. Recently, I’ve read "Understanding Media| by Marshall McLuhan, "Exorbitant Privilege: The Rise and Fall of the Dollar and the Future of the International Monetary System" by Barry Eichengreen, "The Network State" by Balaji Srinivasan, "Propaganda" by Edward Bernays, and "Freedom from the Known" by Krishnamurti—all of which I really enjoyed.
