Although from India, I feel the world is my home. Having studied abroad with a scholarship and being fortunate to work, train, study in different countries and continents - I could gather the means to travel around and explore a bit of our wonderful planet.

I have always been a very strong secular humanist and after travelling across continents I have become more respectful to people having different beliefs and outlooks towards the world.

Travelling and living in different countries in the last 3 years have made me very interested to understand the nuances of the world and its conflicts - which have increasingly drifted me towards understanding global politics. Armed with a strong curiosity I have reoriented my career towards social science academia and I will be starting my PhD this fall with full funding.

Now, I am working in Germany and trying to enjoy this beautiful continent for the last few months.

Let's talk more when we meet!

Cheers!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Would want to have interesting conversations with different people. Can converse in wide ranging topics from politics to sports to music.

Interests

I am a sociable person who likes to travel, meet, and listen to different people. At the same time I just love to sleep as well.

• sports
• sleeping
• talking
• listening
• travelling and meeting new people

Music, Movies, and Books

Any feel good movie, any inspirational book. I have very 'Eastern' taste in music, though I listen to different types. I usually love 90s melodies, or folk/country music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Probably the 6000m trekking in the Himalayas I struggled so much to complete.

Teach, Learn, Share

Would love to teach the languges or the recipes I know, or even the nerdy tidbits that I gather often. Very curious to learn different language and about cultures.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My nerdy insights, my friendly-warm-sociable company, the little skills I am learning myself, maybe some sweets and some basic recipes of Bengali food.
