Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to host people who really believe in the idea and concept of Couch surfing. Would recommend if you have been travelling in India for a while,it could be 1.2,3 or 6 months, and have not couch surfed in smaller cities and places in India,because its cheap staying in a guest house or hostel, sad to say this you have missed out capturing the true local essence of the place, people food, clothing, language, touristy places in India

Remember where there's will and a believe you will find a host any where.....

Taxi fare(non-ac) is similar to rickshaw or tuk tuk around 21rs and in night it is 25rs. However they may refuse to work on meters sometimes. Off late the cab drivers and rickshaws drivers have become very rude and refuse to work for short distance.
