Hey ,
This is Ankit.
I am an Architect by profession, traveller by passion, artist by hobby, reader by interest and a foodie by choice.

I care about environment and nature. Architecture for me is not just a job its a way of life. My travel photograph contains more buildings and details than me.
Travelling and meeting amazing people have now become more than a passion, it opens up my eyes and widens my perspective every time I travel or come across wonderful strangers who end up becoming friends for a lifetime, unknowingly giving me memories to cherish and teaching me how life really is.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I am Couchsurfing to learn more about you , your cities, your culture , your experiences , your stories and to tell you mine if you want to listen to them.Someone once told me 'Life is all about experiences we have' by doing this am just trying to add more of it ! Share your ideas with me and I will share mine, now we both have two ideas each.
I was unknown to the beauty of this until I started solo backpacking and meeting wonderful strangers from different corners of the World.
I met amazing people from couch surfing, strangers who hosted me , who showed me around their city , who taught me their language and who are more than friends to me , strangers who became family. I would like to meet more of such strangers throughout my life.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

The most amazing thing I have done in my life was 7 years back ,and that was to get out of my comfort zone and starting to travel solo . Everything since then is amazing and everything since then is an experience ! I have travelled 20 states in India and 3 countries in the world , and every time I travel I have learned something new, every travel helped me change a bit, to understand life , widened my perspective , taught me a lesson and most important every travel made me a better person and made me who I am .

Still, if you will ask me to point out just one amazing thing it would be saving my own life with other two , in the middle of a sea , when an adventure went wrong due to bad weather in the country where you don't know their language. I learned the value of life that day, I learned no matter what happens you should never give up on yourself, I learned the real meaning of "INGUZ" that day.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

Teach :
Would you like to learn how to cook some Indian food? (I am not a pro but I can teach you)
Would you like to hear about the Indian States and their Culture? (i have travelled 20 of them)
Do you have an interest in Learning Hindi?(I am a pro at this)
If you have an interest in Architecture, Culture and cities we are going to have a great conversation for sure.

Learn:
Teach me your ways , whatever it is , am always curious to learn new things. Teach me the language you know, food you know how to cook, hacks which made your life easy , teach me whatever you want to pass on. Don't worry I am a quick learner, you won't have to put much effort.

Share: Share your stories with me , your experiences which you gained all these years (maybe some of them which you learned the hard way), share your memories of the city you traveled , people you met , places you been to, cultures you have seen and I will share all that I have. Sharing is one of the most amazing thing in life , it always increases what you have and what you know about.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I can share my knowledge , my experiences , my stories !
I can take them around my city, the place where locals eat , hang out and show them places which they must see (especially trough an architect's eyes)
And most important I will try to share a memory to cherish for the lifetime.
If possible I would try to share my apartment (if needed)
