Hey there, My name is Gian :) a passionate traveler residing in Abu Dhabi. With 20+ countries under my belt, I thrive on exploring diverse cultures and breathtaking landscapes, especially mountains and countryside. Engaging with people enriches my journeys, fostering lasting connections. I also love hiking and Trekking. Few of my personal favorites are the Alps of Davos in Switzerland, Mount Fuji of Japan wherein I met quite number of people and still connected till date, and most recent is the Island Peak Mountain of Eastern Nepal. I also do marathon and Triathlon on the side. One of my goal now is to get a PADI Diving license so I can start exploring the beauty of underwater wherever I go. I love self discovery, it’s something that excites me whenever I learned new things/skills for myself. I always believe that the world is much more nicer than how it’s perceived and that there are many good people surrounding it.

I’m a little shy at first. Amid my curiosity, I'm respectful, not intrusive.

At home, I share my space with two rescued feline friends, companions for four years. While I may not always accompany you on explorations, I'm eager to connect, share experiences, and facilitate your stay. Check out my "My Home" tab, and feel free to discuss any preferences or requests –I’ll definitely do my best to arrange it :) I'm easygoing and accommodating. Let's make memorable moments together! Cheers! 🌍

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have an insatiable curiosity for discovering new facets of life, connecting with diverse individuals, and immersing myself in various cultures and perspectives. While my job limits full-time travel, hosting offers a unique opportunity to bring the world to my doorstep. As a newcomer to the Couchsurfing community, I'm thrilled at the prospect of meeting fellow adventurers and expanding my horizons through meaningful interactions and shared experiences. Let the journey begin! 🌟
