hey , myself Ibrahim aka ibrwho I’m from Kerala by birth, currently living in the heart of Kashmir. If you’re tired of the "tourist traps" like Gulmarg or Munnar, I’m your person. I’m a 24-year-old Media student in Kashmir , and I’m obsessed with documenting the "real" India—the rituals, the hidden village alleys, and the stories that don't make it into guidebooks.
​Why Host with Me?
I don't just show you sights; I help you understand the culture. Whether it’s explaining a Theyyam ritual from my home in Kerala or walking you through the offbeat lanes of Ganderbal, I love sharing the raw, authentic side of life here. I’m a backpacker at heart, a photographer, and a storyteller.
​What I’m Looking For
I prefer travelers who are curious about local life and have their own stories to share. Let’s swap travel tales over some local tea!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

As a Media student and photographer, I believe that the best stories are found in the homes of locals, not in five-star hotels. I’m on Couchsurfing to meet people from different walks of life and share the unique perspectives I’ve gained from living in both South and North India. I love hosting because it allows me to see my own surroundings through fresh eyes and document the human side of travel that you won't find on a postcard.

兴趣

Visual Storytelling: I’m a Media student, so I’m always behind the lens. I love street photography and capturing the raw emotions of local life.
The Unmapped: My biggest interest is finding "proper local" spots—the villages, tea stalls, and rituals (like Theyyam) that tourists usually miss.
Human Stories: I believe every traveler is a walking book. I love listening to experiences that challenge my perspective.
Backpacking: I prefer the rugged path over the luxury one. I’m into slow travel, trekking, and exploring the "spirit of man" through new experiences.
Culinary History: Exploring the connection between culture and food, from Malabar spices to Kashmiri Wazwan.
