Hey! I’m Adil — born India 🇮🇳 but raised in the UAE 🇦🇪, so you could say I grew up between two cultures. I’ve spent most of my life in Abu Dhabi, and now I split my time between the UAE and India, managing businesses in hospitality, real estate, car care, and food.

I’m an entrepreneur by profession, but a traveler at heart. I love connecting with people, hearing their stories, and experiencing cities from a local’s perspective. Couchsurfing feels like the perfect way to do that — real people, real places, real moments.

I’m easygoing, respectful, and always curious to learn. Whether we’re sharing travel stories, walking around your city, or just chilling over tea or coffee, I’m all in. I also enjoy good food (especially Kerala dishes!) and can introduce you to some cool perspectives from both India and the Middle East.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I travel, I like to meet local people that’s how I get to know the real side of a place, not just what I see on the internet. The culture, the small conversations, the way people live and think that’s what makes a destination truly meaningful for me.

Couchsurfing feels like the perfect way to connect with people beyond the tourist spots and typical experiences. I believe travel is about human connection, and I enjoy learning from different backgrounds, sharing stories, and making memories that last longer than photos.

Interests

I’m passionate about traveling, discovering new places, and connecting with people from different cultures. I love trying local food, whether it’s street snacks or traditional home-cooked meals food always tells a story.

I’m also into cars and long drives nothing beats the feeling of hitting the road with good music and no fixed plan. Business and entrepreneurship are a big part of my life too; I enjoy building ideas, learning from others, and talking about how things work in different parts of the world.

Most of all, I’m curious about cultures, lifestyles, languages, and how people live and think in different places.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once trekked through a tiger reserve at night pitch black, deep in the forest, with just the sound of the jungle and our guide’s whispers. It was both terrifying and unforgettable. Knowing that wild tigers were somewhere out there, just a few hundred meters away, made it one of the most intense and surreal experiences of my life. That night taught me the beauty of silence, awareness, and respect for nature.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to share meaningful conversations and stories from my travels and work, learn about new cultures, lifestyles, and perspectives, and teach whatever I can from my own experiences in business, food, and life between Kerala and the UAE.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Endless conversations about life, business, cultures, travel, food, cars, or anything in between! I love exchanging stories and perspectives, and I’m always up for deep chats or light banter, depending on the vibe.
