Interests

Hello fellow travelers and hosts! I'm Hiren, an enthusiastic explorer from the vibrant city of Gandhinagar. My life revolves around a medley of passions and interests. First and foremost, I'm an avid reader and writer, always seeking the next great book to get lost in or crafting stories of my own.

When I'm not immersed in words, you'll often find me singing my heart out – from shower concerts to karaoke nights, I can't resist a good tune. Traveling is my ultimate passion. I believe there's no better way to learn about the world and its people than by experiencing it firsthand. I've trekked through the Himalayas, marveled at historical wonders, and indulged in mouthwatering street food in various corners of India.

But here's the best part: I love to cook, and I'm always eager to whip up a delicious meal for my fellow travelers. Whether it's a spicy curry, a comforting pasta dish, or a local specialty, I enjoy sharing the flavors of my travels with others.

I'm here on Couchsurfing not just for a place to crash but to connect with fellow adventurers and exchange stories, ideas, and recipes. If you're looking for a travel companion, a meal to remember, or simply a good conversation, let's connect and make our journeys even more memorable!"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At the awe-inspiring Somnath Temple, I witnessed the mesmerizing Aarti ceremony, a spiritual ritual that left me with a profound sense of peace and spirituality. The centuries-old traditions and the sheer grandeur of the temple are truly breathtaking. And seen a Moon of Dwitiya tithi (बीज का चंद्र) near a flag on Temple top which is awesome spiritual experience of my life. It feels me like in real Shiva gave blessings and I seen him front of me.

In the majestic Himalayas, I had the privilege of witnessing the sunrise from a serene mountain peak. The play of colors as the sun bathed the snow-capped peaks in a golden glow is a sight that will forever be etched in my memory. It's moments like these that remind me of the beauty and wonder of our world.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hey there, wanderlust seekers! I'm a knack for both teaching and learning. Whether it's sharing travel tips, teaching a few words of a new language, or diving into the fascinating history of a place, I love sharing knowledge with fellow explorers.

I'm not just a teacher; I'm also an eager learner. I believe that every interaction with a new person or place is a chance to discover something new. I'm constantly seeking to expand my horizons and gain fresh insights.

Beyond the practical aspects of travel, I'm also a storyteller at heart. I have a knack for turning life events and experiences into captivating tales. Whether it's the time I got lost in a bustling bazaar or the heartwarming encounters with locals on my journeys, I'm here to share these stories in a way that keeps you entertained and inspired.
