Hi! I'm Brijesh and have been working as a programmer for 3 years in the UK since graduating. I started a sabbatical to travel the world in May 2022 for 2 years, passing through Latin America, Asia and Africa. I love travelling and learning about different cultures and customs, but the best thing is always the people I meet, so am looking to connect with as many people as I can. I'm also pretty laid back and always up for a good conversation (and pint)! :)

I'm also active on social media so if you want to check our some of my pics, or the travelling I've done, look me up on instagram: @brijp96

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing seems to be the most ideal way of getting insight on what local life is like, as well as recommendations on what to do. I'm also interested in sharing and talking about our different cultures, and learning about local lifestyles and how they differ from my own.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to rock such as Linkin Park, Coldplay, Breaking Benjamin plus some classics like Queen. I also like EDM such as Avicii and Hardwell. My favourite films probably being in the sci fi/fantasy region such as the Dark Knight.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Took the plunge to start solo travelling the world for a year.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My experiences living in the UK, in travelling, any cultural differences I noticed and what surprised me the most, and any good-hearted conversation on the news, movies, anything!
