Hi! I'm Manpreet Kalra from Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh and I love to travel and explore new places and their people and that's the reason you see so many countries in my Countries Visited Section. So, it's been now almost one year since I came back home and completed my studies but can not appear for the exams due to COVID-19.

So, in this mean time I'm planning to travel and explore the local nearby regions. I know how to plan and schedule trips, spend the least and enjoy the most as I've been doing this quiet a few times. I'm of jolly nature and love to interact with new people, talk about cultures and traditions and their history. I don't know about the architecture but I know how to appreciate it hahaha. I love social media and YouTube videos are my favorite and The Travelling Desi is the Channel which I madly Follow. I like to party, dance and make new friends.

I've done hitchhiking quiet a few times in past and also made big blunders while travelling, made some great friends, took really nice photos hahaha and overall it was a great experience which I truly enjoyed being out alone in all those places.

(You'll come to know more about me, if we meet someday soon hehe)

Thanks

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been around many countries in the last two years because of the profession I'm associated with but now as I'm back at home and don't have really much to do these days, I'm planning to explore nearby cities and hill stations with Couch Surfing Platform and to experience about the untold stories of our own people's culture and tradition.

I saw a huge potential in this platform, as it brings all the travelers to a common place and makes very easy for the travelers to figure out what exactly we want from travelling.

Couch Surfing seems to be great.....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I went out in Philadelphia, USA, I travelled all the way to the other corner of the City just to visit Gurudwara (Sikh Temple) and have delicious Langar (Free Food) all that all alone, with no internet in my phone.
I prepared an offline Map though and all this trip was done in merely six hours when I had to change 2 metros while going and coming back.( Ship - Taxi - Bus - Metro1 - Metro2 - Metro3 - Walk - Gurudwara and back again)
One way reaching to the place took me two hours and while returning I missed the stop, I had to get down.
Total Blunders but Total Fun, somehow made it back to the ship in time.hehe
