My name is Avadhut Desai ( pronunciate 'avdhoot') or simply call me 'Avi'☺️

I'm from Kolhapur District of Maharashtra (India) but currently living in Gurgaon city of Haryana (India), very close to New Delhi.

I'm a Physics graduate and running an NGO ( https://www.facebook.com/foresightfoundation/ ) that aims to empower youth.

Even though I'm introvert, I'm selectively talkative. I like to make new friends. A couple of years ago, I passionately started preparing for IAS (India's elite, top civil administrative services posts) exam but didn't get through it till date. B-plan is to try hands on business especially educational services ( https://www.facebook.com/ForesightEducationIndia/ ) and online/print media ( https://www.facebook.com/theforesight.in/ ).

And yes, I'm teetotaler as well as vegetarian 😉

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Recently, I came across travel videos on YouTube by Varun Vagish who crisscrossed the globe. He inspired me to the extent that I also want to visit every corner of the world. I want to interact with children and youth from across the globe and also involve in volunteering activities. I want to experience the diverse cultures.
