Hi! I am Jyoti and I love to travel and learn about different cultures. I have an international upbringing. I was born in India, and grew up in Thailand and the US.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing primarily to meet like-minded individuals who are open to new experiences and adventures that this world has to offer. Other than that, I look forward to hosting and being hosted in the many cities and countries I plan to visit!

**Please message me about yourself/travel itinerary before you send me a couch request.
**Please note that I live in Huntersville, which is a suburb 20 mins north of center city Charlotte. You will need to figure out a way to get to places (i.e. Uber) because public transport is lacking in the area. I might be able to give you rides once in a while though.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I trekked the Himalayan mountain range for 11 days straight (Starting elevation 5,000ft; Ending 15,000ft).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer travel advice based on the places I have been to...just ask!
I like discussing business ideas (i.e. social entrepreneurship), and ideas in general.
Of course...I like making travel plans because that allows me to daydream :D So if you can help, that's just A-OK!
