Hey! I'm Goutham, a curious soul from Chennai, India, who loves exploring places, gazing at the stars, and connecting with people from different walks of life. After spending almost a decade in IT, I decided to take a detour from the corporate world and now work as a freelancer, living a more flexible and travel-filled life.

I also co-run Starvoirs, a travel startup that organizes stargazing trips to beautiful, lesser-known locations.

I'm all about good conversations, spontaneous adventures, and chasing night skies. I often travel solo, not just for the thrill of it, but for the peace and stories it brings. Big fan of sci-fi movies, gaming (PS5 and PC), and slow moments with music or sunsets.

Whether you're up for a walk around your city, sharing travel tales, or stargazing from a terrace, I’m always happy to meet new people and learn something new.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet like-minded travelers, share stories, experience places like a local, and build genuine connections beyond just destinations.
