Hey there! I'm Rakesh, an artist at heart and an explorer by soul. I'm a traditional and digital painter, photographer, traveler, foodie, and an all-around fun-loving person who enjoys meaningful conversations and spontaneous adventures.

For years, I’ve worked in the film and entertainment industry, including in Hollywood, as a digital painter and concept artist. Art has taken me to amazing creative spaces, and now travel is helping me connect with inspiring people and cultures around the world.

I believe every place has its own story, and every person has something beautiful to share. Whether it's discovering hidden local gems, sharing stories over a home-cooked meal, or exploring new landscapes with fellow travelers – I'm all in!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because people make places truly unforgettable.

I’m here to connect with locals, share life stories, and exchange perspectives. Couchsurfing isn’t just about a free stay for me – it’s about building friendships and being part of a global community that thrives on kindness, curiosity, and shared experiences.

If you're someone who loves art, stories, music, food, or simply enjoys a good laugh – we’ll probably get along just fine 😊
Let’s share some moments, explore together, and maybe even create something beautiful along the way.

Thanks for reading – and I hope to meet you soon
