Hey there, wanderers of the world! 🌍

I'm Aki, a globetrotter with a passion for exploring new horizons and savouring unique flavours. Originally from the enchanting land of India, I now call Dusseldorf, Germany, my home. I've had the incredible opportunity to journey through 25 countries and counting, collecting stories, friendships, and a love for diverse cuisines along the way.

When I'm not exploring new destinations, I enjoy playing badminton, having picnics in beautiful parks, cycling through scenic landscapes, practicing meditation for inner peace, and experimenting with cooking from various global cuisines

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My passion for exploring new cultures and connecting with people from around the world has led me to Couchsurfing. Having travelled to 25 countries (and counting), I've realized that the most enriching experiences often come from meeting locals and immersing myself in their way of life.

I look forward to connecting with like-minded travellers, sharing experiences, and creating lasting memories through Couchsurfing. Whether you're passing through Dusseldorf or planning your next adventure, feel free to reach out, and let's embark on a journey of cultural exchange and friendship together!"

2. Outdoor Activities: I enjoy playing badminton, picnicking, and cycling. I can invite hosts to join them for these activities, whether it's a friendly badminton match, a picnic in a local park, or a leisurely bike ride around the area.

3. Cooking Skills: I can offer to prepare a meal from their home country, giving hosts a taste of Indian cuisine or any other dishes they enjoy cooking.

4. Travel Stories: With experience in traveling to 25 countries, I can share fascinating travel stories, recommendations for must-visit destinations, and valuable travel tips with hosts.
