hello world!
I am Raktim from Howrah, India currently working as a Software Engineer in an MNC based in Kolkata.

The beauty of travelling through stories via Couch Surfing has brought immense joy and pleasure for me without moving there.

As a great admirer of photography, an ardent nature lover I go out often to find the lost connection with mother nature.

Join me on my epic journey to unknown roads taken, undiscovered hills and meeting many locals who can be befriended easily.

On a personal interest good food, movies can only help me with my never-ending curiosity about everything.

Let me be a good listener if you have got some stories and am willing to share more, promise.

**Benefit of hosting me- I can cook really well ☺️ next MasterChef in the making.

Note:
1) If you can't give a reference, please don't send a request. This is not just a free stay, the purpose of Couchsurfing needs to be maintained.

2) If you are not clean enough or tend to keep your trash while leaving the premises where you stayed, you should know you didn't hire someone to clean up your mess. You should take care of that, otherwise you're free to crash somewhere else.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The desire to explore new places as a local is very intriguing to me so I'm always up for any such opportunities.

Couchsurfing gives me the opportunity to meet new people from a wide range of backgrounds, experience the food and culture which adds new flavors to any trip.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 4 years of Engineering life, I couldn't learn how to code in spite of that I learned how to invest in Capital Market! Became an accidental Investor :P

The graph on the screen excites me more than anything else on the Earth though I tend to lose most of the time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to teach kids English for 2 years. I can share my experience with the Business domain, can discuss for hours about Politics, History, Philosophy and Economics.

Sounds boring! Don't worry let's go out together for an epic journey.
