Hello, fellow travelers and hosts!

I'm Surfy, a passionate software engineer based in the vibrant city of Toronto. Originally from India, I've called Canada home for the past 8 years. In my professional life, I thrive on solving complex problems, but outside the office, my heart belongs to exploring the richness of cultures and languages.

I'm a polyglot, fluent in five languages: English, Hindi, Punjabi, Nepali, and Bangla. Currently, I'm on a journey to add Spanish to that list — it's both a challenging and rewarding experience!

Having traversed a variety of landscapes, I've had the privilege of immersing myself in diverse cultures. My travel map includes stops in India, Maldives, Nepal, Bhutan, Canada, the USA, and an unforgettable adventure through South America—Peru, Chile, and Colombia.

Beyond my love for technology and travel, I'm an avid learner with a deep appreciation for history and geography. Whether it's delving into the intricacies of ancient civilizations or simply savoring the local flavors of a new destination, I find joy in every discovery.

I'm here not just to find a place to stay or host but to forge meaningful connections, share stories, and celebrate the beauty of cultural exchange. If you're someone who enjoys conversations about languages, history, or just life in general, I'd love to connect with you.

Looking forward to the next chapter of my global adventures!

Cheers,
Surfy

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've joined Couchsurfing because I believe in the power of cultural exchange. Traveling, to me, is not just about visiting new places but also about connecting with the people who call those places home. I'm passionate about learning from different cultures, sharing stories, and building meaningful connections.

Being a language enthusiast, I see Couchsurfing as an incredible opportunity to not only explore new destinations but also to practice and improve my language skills in an authentic setting. I believe that language is a bridge that connects us, and what better way to learn than by immersing myself in diverse linguistic environments.

I'm here to embrace the local perspective, gain insights that go beyond guidebooks, and create lasting connections with fellow travelers and hosts. Let's share experiences, learn from each other, and make our journeys richer through the bonds we create.

Looking forward to the adventures ahead!
