I was introduced to Couchsurfing years ago but only now I am looking to make use of the platform effectively. I am a citizen of India living in Germany for the past three years. I started traveling by myself only after I moved to Europe. Nothing gives me more joy than exploring new places every year. Ancient history and culture interest me the most. Of course, no traveling experience is ever complete without trying out the local cuisine. I can be highly experimental when it comes to food! Most importantly, I am NOT into Instagram traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people is always exciting. It is all the more fun while traveling. Hearing about the everydayness of a place from someone local is what enriches the overall experience of the visitors. This platform seems to be a great way to be able to meet and learn about different cultures, at the same time, encouraging people to keep exploring this world.
