Hello! My name is Shibili Rahman, and I’m from Cochin, India. By profession, I am an electronics engineer with over 10+ years of experience in embedded system development, high-speed board design, and product innovation. My work keeps me deeply engaged with technology, problem-solving, and collaboration, but I also love to balance it out with meaningful travel experiences.

I’m passionate about exploring history, nature, and cultural heritage. Ancient architecture, serene landscapes, and local traditions fascinate me far more than modern attractions. I enjoy learning how different cultures live, eat, and celebrate life—it always gives me a new perspective. Whenever I travel, I try to immerse myself in the local way of life rather than just being a tourist.

Traveling for me is not just about visiting places, but about meeting new people and sharing stories. That’s why I’m excited about Couchsurfing—it allows me to connect with locals, understand their culture from within, and also share about mine.

A little about my personality: I’m respectful, responsible, and easy-going. I value people’s space and belongings, and I would treat your home with the same care as I do my own. I enjoy good conversations—whether about travel, culture, or even technology—but I’m equally comfortable with quiet moments.

When I’m not working or traveling, I like spending time with friends, trying local food, and exploring hidden gems in my own city. I also enjoy photography and documenting my travels in small ways.

I’m looking forward to connecting with amazing people through Couchsurfing, sharing experiences, and building friendships along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To connect with people from around the world, learn about their culture, and share experiences. Traveling is more meaningful when you meet locals, exchange stories, and see life from a new perspective.

I also love hosting and welcoming travelers to my hometown, sharing Kerala’s traditions, cuisine, and family life. Couchsurfing gives me the chance to build friendships, explore the world authentically, and be part of a global community.

Interests

I enjoy a variety of activities that let me explore life and connect with people:

Fishing – spending peaceful time by rivers, lakes, or the sea

Photography – capturing landscapes, architecture, and everyday life

Nature walks and scenic drives – especially quiet and beautiful places

Food exploration – trying local and traditional dishes (halal-friendly)

Cultural experiences – visiting historical sites, learning about local traditions, and sharing family stories

I also enjoy meeting new people, exchanging travel stories, and sharing my culture. Staying with locals gives me the chance to see the world from a fresh perspective, and I love helping guests feel at home in Kerala.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
