I'm Sagar, a 24-year-old from a small town called Deoria in India. Since I was a little kid, the one thing I loved was traveling. When I was in 8th standard I did my first solo trip and there was nothing that could stop me after that. But time was a major constraint for me. So in 11th standard, I decided that I'll take a year gap after high school just to travel. My travels started on 14/04/2019 and I haven't stopped since then. After exploring a major part of India and spending a month traveling around Russia and spending time in East Asia, my gap year came to an end but the passion was fueled and now I travel between my semester breaks in uni.
As of now, I'm done with 20/28 Indian states and 4 UTs and really hope to complete the entire India before I turn 25.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'll be very honest here.
When I first heard about Couchsurfing, it was all about getting a free stay for me but I never really sent a request. It was only after I met this man called Raghav while hitchhiking from jodhpur to Udaipur who told me about the real concept of Couchsurfing and about the idea of sharing of cultures and making new friends around the world.
