Overview
About Me
Hi! I’m Praveen, originally from India and currently in France pursuing my Master’s in Finance and Investment Banking. I have a background in Robotics & Automation and have worked in the drone industry (SkyX Aerospace) handling business development, partnerships, and sales. I’m passionate about exploring new cultures, sports, finance, and meeting people from around the world.
I’m friendly, curious, and love meaningful conversations—whether about travel, global markets, sustainability, or simply sharing life stories.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To connect with people from different cultures, share experiences, and learn from each other. Since I’ve recently moved abroad, I want to blend in, discover local perspectives, and not just be a tourist. I also love hosting or joining activities where people can bond over food, travel, or sports.
