Description
My name is Raj, I am a graduate from a renowned college in India- "Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee". I have travelled to couple of countries which includes, Thailand, Germany, Switzerland, France etc..I love to meet new people always. Frankly I feel its a pleasure that I am so thankful for to the world. I have worked in a restaurant in Kitchen in Germany. I loved what I had learned from there. I appreciate this workaway platform very very much. It really is about learning each other cultures, it helps in understanding the nature of people from the roots. Objective is an exchange that helps both. Wonderful. Hoping to find the same for me.
