Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Nothing excites me more than meeting new people from all over the world and being friends with them and for me life is an exciting journey where I consider all my friends whom I met or know as my fellow travelers who makes my journey more enriching, pleasurable and memorable...

So far I haven't been able to Couchsurf but hopefully will definitely do when the occasion comes. Though mostly I live and work in New Delhi, the capital city of India but sometimes also I live in Kodaikanal, a very beautiful tourist Hill-resort situated at an altitude of 2100m ( 7,000ft) above sea level in South India where luckily I have a small cottage and while I'm there I would be very much pleased to host the Couchsurfers.
