Hi, I’m Rahul! I was born and raised in a small city in Bengal and later moved to Mathura, the birthplace of Lord Krishna. Currently, I’m pursuing my MBA in Germany, but my heart is always drawn to traveling, exploring new places, meeting people, and capturing moments through photography.

I’m a happy-go-lucky person with a passion for living life to the fullest – after all, we only get one shot at this! I love connecting with people, experiencing different cultures, and engaging in conversations about anything from deep intellectual topics to lighthearted fun.

Traveling and socializing are my ways of celebrating life. As much as I enjoy adventures, I’m equally passionate about fitness because I believe respecting your body is key to living fully.

I have great respect for all religions and cultures, as I believe humanity is the foundation of them all.

In a nutshell, I’m a simple, curious, and optimistic soul looking to connect with others and make the most of this incredible journey called life.

Oh, and a little about my lifestyle – I’m a vegetarian, I don’t smoke, and I don’t consume alcohol.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love socializing with new people from different backgrounds and learning about their cultures. Exploring a city through the eyes and experiences of locals adds a unique perspective that no guidebook can offer. I’m here to connect, share my own knowledge, and hopefully make a few meaningful friendships along the way.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a fan of Bollywood and Punjabi music – they keep me energized and connected to my roots. When it comes to content, I enjoy watching podcasts, especially those diving into topics like geopolitics, business, and finance. While I'm not much of a book reader, I love consuming thought-provoking content online and expressing my own ideas on Twitter.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've had some incredible experiences that I'm proud of! I earned a 1st Dan Black Belt in Taekwondo, which taught me discipline and resilience. I've attended UN conferences in Geneva, which were both inspiring and eye-opening. Swimming in the largest lake in the Alps, Lake Geneva, was an unforgettable adventure. And as an Indian, visiting Pakistan has been one of the most unique and surprising experiences for many people I share it with.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Taekwondo kicks and punches – a fun way to stay active and learn self-defense. I enjoy sharing my insights on the stock market and global economy, and I’d love to connect with other Couchsurfers who have an interest in business and finance to learn from their perspectives. In general, I’m always open to learning new things and exchanging ideas – every experience has something valuable to offer!
