Hey there! I’m Shivani, an artist, traveller, and handmade craft creator from Kerala, India. I run a small earthy brand called WISHIVV, where I design bohemian and eco-inspired jewellery and art pieces — all made with love, clay, and nature in mind.
I love connecting with people, exploring new cultures, and discovering quiet corners that hold stories.
I travel light, live simply, and always respect the space and people I meet. I believe in experiences more than luxuries — cooking together, sharing stories, walking through local streets, or just sitting by a river talking about life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe travel is not just about seeing new places — it’s about feeling them through the people who live there. I love the idea of sharing stories, learning local ways of life, and creating human connections that go beyond tourist paths. For me, every journey is an exchange — of warmth, culture, and kindness. Staying with locals helps me see a place through real eyes, not just as a traveller.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love sharing creative energy — I can teach you how to make simple handmade jewellery, macramé, clay art, or boho crafts using natural materials. I can also share a bit about Indian culture, Kerala traditions, and sustainable living from my own journey with my handmade brand, WISHIVV.
Learn:
I’d love to learn anything local — cooking traditional food, new art forms, languages, or even simple daily rituals from your culture. I’m curious about how people live, create, and find peace in different corners of the world.
Share:
I can share stories from my travels, soulful conversations over chai, music, and laughter. I believe every meet-up has something to teach, and I’d love to exchange not just things, but pieces of inspiration.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories, art, and a bit of handmade warmth wherever I go. I love cooking simple Indian meals, especially from Kerala, and I’d be happy to make chai or something comforting for us to share.
I often carry small handmade gifts from my brand WISHIVV — like clay charms or bracelets — as a little token of gratitude.
More than anything, I can share good energy, deep conversations, help around the house if needed, and a genuine connection. I love listening, learning about people’s journeys, and creating small memories that stay even after I leave.
