Hola! I'm Kuldeep, a PhD scholar at Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi, India (for further details please visit my Insta profile- ojhakuldeep97 ). My research focuses on "Environmental Governance in Central America" with a special case study on CostaRica, Nicaragua and Guatemala. I'm deeply passionate about nature and the intricate ways communities interact with the environment.
Beyond academics, I am an avid traveller, storyteller, professional photographer, and advocate for sustainable living. I believe in building connections with people from diverse backgrounds to share experiences, ideas and laughter.
Hosting me means bringing home someone who values nature, respects local culture and is always eager to contribute to a positive exchange of knowledge and experiences. I look forward to meeting like-minded individuals on my travels!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe travelling is not just about visiting places but about connecting with people, sharing cultures and meaningful experiences. Coughsurfing offers a unique way to meet incredible hosts, learn about local traditions and explore destinations through a more personal lens.

Interests

I'm an adventurer at the heart who loves exploring the great outdoors through hiking and trekking, soaking in the beauty of nature. When I'm indoors, you'll often find me sharpening my strategic thinking over a game or chess or learning a new language or enjoying a lively football or tennis match. I also enjoy dancing, reading books on IR and Culture, drawing paintings, yoga, running and swimming. I love photography the most.

Music, Movies, and Books

My playlist is a mix of soothing melodies and energetic beats. I enjoy discovering local music wherever i travel.
I love immersing myself in thought provoking reads, from environmental literature classics like Sapiens or the Alchemist. Fiction or non-fiction every book opens a new world.
I'm drawn to films that tell powerful stories classics like The pursuit of happiness and into the wild.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once hiked through the lush cloud forest of the Himalaya during my research trip. Standing atop a mist- covered hill, witnessing the breathtaking view of the canopy below, i felt truly connected to the earth. It was a moment of pure wonder and inspiration that fuels my passion for environmental conservation.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to share my knowledge about environmental sustainability, IR theories and research experiences. I can teach you YOGA, meditation, basics of Indian languages and culture, indian cooking and some fun travel hacks.
I'm always eager to learn a new language, culture, new recipe and new skills. I'm always looking forward to exchanging stories, ideas, and perspectives to create good memories we'll cherish forever.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I bring along a positive vibe, great conversations and a willingness to contribute. As a professional photographer, I'd be thrilled to teach you photography skills, be it capturing beautiful landscapes, candid portrait or creative shots for your social media (i have few DSLRs).
I can also promote your business on my Instagram page (ojhakuldeep97). I can teach you YOGA, MEDITATION and Indian languages or English.
I am more than happy to lend a hand with household chores, i truly believe in sharing responsibilities and helping out something i do with no hesitation.
