Hi everyone! I’m Jay from Udaipur, India, but I moved to Canada in April 2022. My door is open to travelers from all over the world—no racism, no discrimination here! I love to cook, so if you’re a foodie, you’re definitely in the right place. I’d be happy to show you around, share a bit of Indian culture, architecture, food, and the countryside lifestyle. Most importantly, I can offer insights into both sides of Indian values and culture.

If you love memes, cats, dogs, and good music, you’re more than welcome! I’m also a fan of films by Christopher Nolan, Jim Carey, Tom Hanks, Adam Sandler, Imtiaz Ali, Farhan Akhtar, and, of course, Shah Rukh Khan!

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy listening to Jack Johnson, Red Hot Chili Pepper and hip-hop, and I’m a fan of Bollywood films. Some of my favorites include Tamasha, Love Aaj Kal, Kal Ho Naa Ho, and Dil Chahta Hai, especially those starring Shahrukh Khan. I also appreciate The Alchemist.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling to Vietnam , Mexico and moving to Canada

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to cook some Indian dishes and share funny stories from my first trip abroad, as well as my experiences living in both India and Canada.
I’d love to meet people who are mindful of the environment, use minimal plastic, and appreciate the importance of sustainability.
Hosting and showing people around can be both time-consuming and costly, so if you’re staying with me, I kindly ask that you consider contributing towards gas and other expenses. Living in Canada is expensive, and I often host guests, but sometimes I feel taken advantage of, as I’m quite shy when it comes to asking for help. I would really appreciate it if you could contribute in some way.

Also, I have a cat, so please check if you have any allergies to cats. I can offer you companionship and road trips around the Niagara region, and you’re welcome to play your favorite music in the car. I’ll do my best to pick you up and drop you off at the station if needed.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My priority is offering safety to solo female travelers and couples. It’s disheartening to see Couchsurfing misused by people with bad intentions, and as an Indian, that deeply troubles me. I also love sharing Indian dishes and guiding my guests around Niagara Falls region/ Udaipur. If you’re a solo female traveler feeling hesitant about Couchsurfing in India, you’re more than welcome to stay at my place. The least I can do is ensure your safety.
