Travel for me is exploring culture, an insight into the unknown, it can be scary, exciting and tiring but it's these new experience which help me grow as a person.
So decided to head to India for a short trip, Kochi, goa and Mumbai. I have no he what these areas are like so would be great to get some insight.
Would be great to find speciality coffee shops, beaches, world wonders and and nice chill vibes. Oh and places for amazing food
The best way to do that is for me to connect with the locals and they know best.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people, im looking for something more authentic than just visiting new areas, I want to see it from a locals prospective and live like they do, what makes this part of town special? what is it really like living here?

Interests

Coffee ( does that count as an interest?) I love going to farmers markets and street food events/festivals. every now and again i like going to art installation and exhibitions. Live bands or jazz/blues clubs are cool hang outs.
Kayaking, hiking and water sports in general, I'm up for it.
