Hello, I’m Raj from India and moved to Dublin in 2023.
I’m a software engineer who’s easygoing, open-minded and love meeting new people and hearing about their life experiences. I really enjoy connecting with others and learning from different cultures.

I’ve always loved travelling, but didn’t get much chance to travel outside India. Back home, I visited lots of beautiful places and went on many hikes sometimes with friends, sometimes with complete strangers who became friends along the way.

Since moving to Europe, I’ve visited 7 countries in the past year, and I’m just getting started!

Oh and one random adventure: I once jumped out of a plane from 5000 feet! 😄

It was a static line jump and I sprained my ankle, so I still haven’t done the full skydiving course yet, but it’s on my list.

Always up for a good company, new adventures, and spontaneous plans. Let’s connect!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, traveling isn’t just about places - it’s about people. Couchsurfing is an amazing way to meet locals, hear real stories, and see the world from different perspectives. I like sharing experiences, culture, and just having good conversations with new faces.

Music, Movies, and Books

I’m into all kinds of movies-whether it’s action, sci-fi, animation or fantasy. Some of my all-time favourites are Interstellar, Harry Potter, Megamind, Avatar, and the Prestige.

When it comes to music, I don’t care about language - if it sounds good and hits the mood.
