Hi! I’m Sayantan Roy, a beginner traveler excited to explore the world, meet new people, and learn about different cultures. I’m new to Couchsurfing but eager to dive into this amazing community of adventurers and hosts.

I’m curious, friendly, and open-minded. While I’m still finding my way as a traveler, I bring enthusiasm and a willingness to share stories, laughs, and good vibes. I’m happy to help around the house, cook together, or just enjoy some great conversations.

I’m looking forward to my first experiences on Couchsurfing and learning from the amazing people I meet along the way. Let’s make great memories together!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that the best way to experience a place is through the eyes of the locals. Couchsurfing offers a unique opportunity to connect with people, share stories, and create meaningful memories that go beyond typical tourist experiences.

As an Indian, I love sharing the warmth of our hospitality and exchanging cultures over conversations, food, or even music. Whether it’s learning about new traditions or exploring hidden gems, I cherish the idea of building connections with people from around the world.

Traveling is not just about visiting places; it’s about the people you meet and the experiences you share. Couchsurfing helps turn strangers into friends, and I’m excited to be part of that journey!

Interests

I am a curious and enthusiastic traveler with a deep love for discovering the heart of every destination I visit. What excites me most about traveling is experiencing local life in its truest form.

I’m passionate about trying local food—whether it’s street food or traditional home-cooked meals. I believe food is one of the best ways to connect with a place and its people. I also enjoy meeting locals and learning their stories, as it gives me a richer understanding of the culture and traditions that make each place unique.

History fascinates me, and I love exploring sites and hearing about the events and people that have shaped a destination. Whether it’s through conversations, museums, or simply walking through historic streets, I’m always eager to learn.

For me, traveling is about immersing myself in the local culture and building genuine connections. I can’t wait to meet new people and share experiences that create lifelong memories.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite Music
Being Indian, I have a deep appreciation for Bollywood classics and modern hits—think A.R. Rahman and Arijit Singh! I also enjoy traditional Indian music like classical ragas and folk songs, but I’m equally a fan of international genres like lo-fi, indie, and rock.

Favorite Books
I love reading books that explore diverse cultures and philosophies. Indian authors like R.K. Narayan and Arundhati Roy are some of my favorites, but I also enjoy global authors like Paulo Coelho and Khaled Hosseini. Anything that inspires thought and adventure catches my attention.

Favorite Movies
Bollywood has my heart—films like Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and Dil Chahta Hai inspire both wanderlust and good vibes. But I also enjoy global cinema, especially thought-provoking movies like The Pursuit of Happyness or fun ones like The Grand Budapest Hotel.
