I'm a Software Engineer and TEDx Speaker who is addicted to travelling, photography and cracking poor jokes.

Currently I have travelled to 16 country, 32 states and 100+ cities in my lifetime. But this is just the beginning. I am on a voyage to fulfill my dream of travelling to 30 countries before I turn 30.

I am addicted to eating sweets and scuba diving.

If you play pool, we're gonna click instantly and if you're into photography then we'll become friends in no time!

I am very passionate about my photos and love to share them with people. If you want to check the out, you can visit my Instagram handle -- @explorewithakshat

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I'm on Couch surfing because I love stories. I love listening to stories of people from all parts of the world, and I love telling mine!

I really love meeting new people and experiencing new culture, and the best way to do that is through living with the locals. The way local people can show a glimpse of the culture and the place is something that can't be experienced through living in hotels, internet surfing or traveling alone in a new place.

I am really glad couch surfing created this platform where we can stay with new people and share different experiences.

Interessen

I have been a travel photographer hobbyist since 2018 and have clicked photos of people, animals, building, natural sceneries and theme parks. I want to visit every corner of this world and capture smiles through my lens.

My dream is to travel 30 countries before I turn 30 and my passion is to build and contribute to products through programming that have a potential to create huge positive impact on the world.

Apart for this, I really love a good swim and a good hike. I believe that hiking is not complete without happy faces around you. Ofcourse you can hike alone and that is peaceful, but the real accomplishment of a hike/trek is felt when there are other people who complete the journey with you and celebrate together. I really look forward to such moments.
