Hello wonderful people of CS, I believe that we all are very lucky in our own way its just matter of us really feel it.with little bit of chat I can try and explain why....I had wonderful experiences with CS on my last Europe trip so I want to try to give some back.

I have done fair amount of travelling specially backpacking via public transport and hitch hiking but never did couch surfing or hosting myself. But after having amazing experience in Europe and India now want to give it a go .

I lived for 15 years in Sydney in last 20 years- Australia but born and raised in Gujarat - India and now living in India and enjoying the best side of both the countries. We are family of 3.
My life mottos are

" Life is too short so live it today "

" Spend money to buy peace".

I normally don't plan what to do or visit in a new city I just get suggestions from my host as the locals are way better than any google search can be or just simple evening sharing eachothers life journey also a amazing way to live....

I love good conversation about budget travelling, unique places, different ways of living, or in general anything and everything so feel free to drop me a line if you wanna know anything more about me or anything in general.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I heard about the CS I was really amazed wow what an amazing idea. The real way to know a country or culture is via having a good conversation with local person over good meal at comfort of their home and talk about different cultures and enjoy their stories... and once you connect such way that bond lasts for life and its way authentic than any other type.

Also we tried CS first time in Europe trip last year in 2023 and we had amazing experiences so now want it to continue it.
