Explorer | Adventure Enthusiast | Solo Traveler | Hospitality & Tourism Professional | Entrepreneur

Hi, I’m Nayan! I come from a hospitality and tourism family in Kathmandu, Nepal, where we run a hotel, Airbnb, restaurant, bakery, hospitality training center, trekking & travel agency, and coffee business.

I have a strong background in hospitality and tourism and love traveling, meeting new people, and experiencing different cultures. Currently, I’m taking a break from managing businesses to explore the world, seek new adventures, and connect with like-minded individuals.

I’m an adrenaline junkie—I prefer thrilling experiences over typical sightseeing. Some of the adventures I’ve done include high-altitude mountain climbing, bungee jumping, rafting, trekking, solo traveling, long road trips, bike riding, camping, hitchhiking, and sailing. Next on my list: skydiving, surfing, scuba diving, and rock climbing!

I’ve traveled around Nepal, as well as Bhutan, India, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Mainland China, and Tibet. I also operate mountain tours in Nepal, Bhutan, and Tibet, so feel free to ask me for travel tips and recommendations.

As a guest, I’m respectful, easygoing, and happy to help with anything I can. I love sharing travel stories, learning about different cultures, and making new friends along the way.

If you feel we’d get along, I’d love to connect! 😊

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Two reasons:

1. Hosting: You can bring the whole world into your house. You can learn and share lot from them specially cultural differences, norms and values.

2. Surfing: It helps to find hosts in various places while you travel. It enables you to make new friends with the local people and explore different cultures and way of life.
