Hello everyone, this is Gaurav here, lives in Delhi, India. My background is an Engineer in the Petroleum industry and work with a startup . I enjoy traveling and learning about different cultures and customs. I also like trying different food and cuisines, especially homemade ones.

PHILOSOPHY
People are good, and life boils down to nothing more than that. Everybody has something to offer to the world. Everybody has a story to tell. I would love to meet as many people as I can. The world's a big place, but its surprising how interconnected people are. Once we take the time to step away from the pseudo-stress of day-to-day life and realize that we're surrounded by incredible friends and family and that those individuals are the ones that we live for, its an amazing feeling. Through online communities like Couch surfing combined with local scenes, bars, pubs, schools, and other organizations, people have transformed society from a chaotic and ugly jungle of egotistical and lonely monsters into a family.
Quote from an anonymous small child:
"When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I said €"happy". They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel around the world and visit every single country and territory is my dream and goal for the rest of my life. And I believe that only through interacting with the travelers could give you the true experience of their culture.
