I'm Ankit originally from India, now exploring Scandanavian wilderness in search of trolls and traces of vikings. I love hiking, running, biking and often getting lost on purpose to get to know a place better.

I receive a bunch of requests everyday and I request you to MUST READ below before sending one -

I) If you think of it as a 'free hotel room', don't bother sending a request.

II) If I offer to host you - please get back to me in timely fashion either to confirm the stay, decline it, or discuss if anything in unclear.

III) I'm hosting to meet and know awesome people, so if you're not planning to spend some time together probably not a good idea to stay at mine.

And lastly - if you're considering getting me a chocolate please don't, as strange as it might sound - I'm not a fan! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To hear and be inspired by life stories.

On CS, I have met some amazing individuals, and one way or other, each one had a profound impact on me, it helped me open up more towards life and coming out of my shell.

Getting to know a city through locals is the best and purest way to make new experiences. That's what I love about CS! It makes travelling much more personal and individual. :-)
