I’ve always believed that a passport is more than just a document—it’s a collection of stories waiting to be written. I have been to 61 countries and counting. I don’t just visit places, I Love Collecting stamps and filled 5 passports as we speak. Wanderlust in blood and super hydrated for aisle seat.

A passionate explorer and dedicated professional, I specialize in balancing high-level career ambitions with a deep-seated love for global discovery. I am a firm believer in 'social travel'—I skip the solitude in favor of meeting locals and immersing myself in the authentic rhythm of a city.

Currently, I am expanding my linguistic horizons by learning Spanish to enhance my professional versatility and personal connections. My travel style is defined by three pillars: diverse music, sophisticated vegetarian cuisine, and an open-minded approach to every new culture I encounter. I don’t just visit a destination; I aim to belong to it, even if just for a while.

PS: i love to click photos wherever i travel but not of myself. A glimpse of my IG: arpitdshah :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined this community because I believe the best souvenirs are the friends we make on unknown land. I’m here to find the perfect vegetarian taco, the best local jazz, and the people who make a city feel like a home and accompany places around. Local Event, Expats, Language Practitioner and good vibing people is what i am looking for. A travel companion to make me feel home and safe. NOT LOOKING FOR HOSTS TO STAY - I prefer having my accomodation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

Teaching someone needs alot of patience and i am an impatient guy :P but yes i would love to teach perks of moving out of your home and go see the world outside. I could also be a good resource to suggest things for people who wants to go around new countries/cities. Stories of my journey is the best experience i could share with everyone.
