About Me

ABOUT ME
A traveler who has had his first experience of travelling around Europe. Covered a set of 7 countries and 12 cities. Did as much non touristy things as possible. Made friends, on the go, in hostels. Found that PEOPLE were the source of inspiration for me. It has opened my mind to a world full of possibilities

When I was berlin, I saw the tour guide who just did not explain the history of the city, but was extremely passionate about his city, that by the end of the speech, you will start loving the city yourself. I wish to do that for my city

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, I have surfed three times and now I am pretty clear as to why I do couchsurfing.

Host #1 takes me out for a traditional cuisine dinner. He trusts me with his home completely when he left for office. His backdoor has notes left by all his previous couchsurfers. I earn to have such positive notes at my place

Host #2 gave me a cycle to ride, assured me to try weed for the first time in his trusted company. Shared his interest in movies and music. I would like to give the same assurance to my guest

Host #3 spent his valuable time with me. He took me to famous location , had authentic food, and gave me tips to save money. The icing on top was the delicious breakfast that I had with his family in the morning. I wish to do the same to another guest at my place

Concept of couchsurf inspires me, provides me an opportunity to learn about cultures, about people and about life as well.

In travel, the best cultural immersion occurs when you look through the eyes of the local, travel like a local, and eat what he eats on a daily basis.
