I'm Tourvashu from Prayagraj (Allahabad) India, a Software Engineer and I quit my job to Travel the World.
Travelling all over the world and meeting people from different parts of the world is only passion in my life so that we can share our culture, tradition, experiences, knowledge and to have memorable time together.

So far I have travelled more than 60 Countries in 4 different Continents and its still counting 🤞

Even my name starts with "Tour" 😁
I have most unique name. No one else have same name in the entire world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe it's pointless to visit a Country without meeting its natives.
So for me CS is the best platform to meet people/natives all around the world to share and learn local cultures, traditions, history and cuisines and last but not the least to experience a place with the local's eye and vice-versa, coz the entire World is one Family.
And I'm really glad to be part of this community.
Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam!
