Hello World! this is Abhi.

I'm a financial advisor, counselling people about getting their finances on track bring me my bread and butter. Apart from finance, there are numerous other things which gets my adrenaline rushing, traveling being one of the major one.

I've been on several solo trips and Europe has been the moment memorable one so far. The world is full of happy surprises and all it takes is a leap of faith to make great connections and memories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Living like a local in a city is much more exciting and rewarding than just being a tourist. It gives you a wholesome experience and a sense of belongingness. To be able to live and explore a city with someone who lives there is like eating a meal along with the person who has cooked it.

I think couch surfing is a great way of connecting with people. A friend far from home gives you peace of mind and it's like having a family to whom you can come back to at the end of a touristy day. It's about trust and creating positive vibes.

I would love to hangout of you're in my city and show you around. I would like not only surf but also host as much as I will surf. Unfortunately, I live in a rented place and it doesn't have enough space yet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 14, I planned a trip with 4 of my friends. A day before we started they cancelled but I didn't. That's how I did my first solo trip which was full of suspense and adventure.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Hindi and English language, Financial planning, Hindu Mythology, solving the Rubik's cube (if that counts).

Learn: Cooking, German, some musical instrument, Kayaking, anything interesting!

Share: It's true that everyone has a story to tell which can change the way we look at life. Therefore, sharing is caring indeed. A good trip with good people and good food around is totally liberating.
