Sharing information is traveler's nature

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Before coming to Netherlands, I used to host travelers in Delhi and I also joined them in their trips if i was free and was going to the same direction. In Eindhoven, I live in an apartment close to centrum and can host travelers for a couple of nights.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted many travelers when i was in Delhi/Agra. I have also assisted many surfers with planning their trip to India and met many in Delhi. As a host, I have stayed with some generous people in Georgia and in Europe. I am looking forward to host surfers in Eindhoven.
