I am Manish Jindal from Northern part of India (New Delhi). I am born and brought in a Business Indian Family. I have done my undergraduation in Electrical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology (BHU). In 2015, I moved to Nice, France with my Girlfriend to continue my studies. i returned to Indian in 2017.

I am a fun loving, easygoing and friendly person who loves to make new friends. 1 year of France has taught me a lot of about French culture. Now, I want to travel around the world to explore the world and know new people.

I am a traveller, not a tourist. I love to know about local culture and traditions. I would love to visit local places, small villages rather that fun parks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I came to know about couch surfing 5 years back from my college friend. I was not active couchsurfing for the past years. But, now I have learnt about people's experiences on couch surfing and I also want to be part of this family.

I would love to discover new places i the world through he eyes of local people. Local people are the best guide to experience the best thrills in the city.

I would also love to host people at my small place as I know "Sharing is Caring". This is how I can know about the people's culture, their traditions and most obvious the food.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Few years back, I went for an adventure trip with my college friends. I was 7 day long trip in the hilly regions of Uttarakhand. We spent our first two days tracking, river rafting, cliff jumping and camping on the river side. It was hell of an experience. We loved it very much especially the river rafting part. Then we ended bikes for a 3 day bike trip from Rishikesh to Mussorrie and back). It was a great road trip. We enjoyed the glimpses of Himalayas and natural beauty.

My last visit to goa was awesome. i was planning to go there for a long time. I spent my last christmas there and did every fun I could do there in every possible manner. I would like to say every person on earth should visit goa once in his/her lifetime. He/she will become fond of it.

I made a good decision when I chose BHU for my higher studies. I met new people not only of my country but people from around the world also. I got many chances to help them in finding nice places in Varanasi o visit. I just love to help them. In India there is a saying "ATTITHI DEVO BHAVAY" means "Guests are like God" and we should treat them like one. So whenever I get a chance to help them, I will not miss the opportunity.
