Hello there, 👋
I’m Paras, a backpacker from India who believes the best way to see the world is through people, not just places. I travel light, live simple, and try to collect experiences instead of things.

I enjoy meeting new people, listening to their stories, learning about their culture, and sharing a bit of mine too. Whether it’s a random conversation over tea, exploring hidden corners of a city, or just laughing about travel moments — I’m always up for it.

I’m respectful, open-minded, and easygoing. I adapt quickly to any environment and love helping hosts in any small way I can.

For me, travel is not just movement — it’s connection. Couchsurfing feels like a beautiful way to make that connection real.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I believe travel is not only about seeing new places, but about meeting real people who live there. Staying with locals gives me a chance to experience a place through their eyes — not as a tourist, but as a friend.

As a backpacker, I like simple living, meaningful talks, and shared moments. Couchsurfing allows me to connect, learn, and exchange ideas, cultures, and kindness.

I don’t expect luxury — just good vibes, honest conversations, and a corner to rest after a day of exploring. In return, I love sharing stories, helping out, and bringing positive energy wherever I stay.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I once traveled solo for 15 days with just a backpack and a small budget, meeting locals, sharing stories, and discovering hidden gems off the usual tourist path. It taught me the value of human connection, trust, and the magic of stepping out of my comfort zone.
