Hey there, fellow travelers!

I’m Yash, currently living in Reading, UK, and loving the journey of meeting new people, sharing experiences, and creating memories. Life has taken me through some fun and unexpected adventures—from managing projects in healthcare and sustainability to practicing massage therapy in Dubai, India, and the UK. (Yes, I might just have a tip or two for relieving travel aches!)

I’m all about meaningful connections. Whether it’s swapping stories over a cup of chai, exploring a new city together, or sharing a home-cooked meal, I believe every person we meet has something to teach us. My experiences volunteering, raising funds for causes, and working in rural communities have shaped my love for giving back and learning from others.

When I’m not working or traveling, you’ll find me experimenting with vegetarian recipes, geeking out over sustainability ideas, or just enjoying the little joys of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Am here because I believe travel isn’t just about places—it’s about people. Couchsurfing gives me the chance to connect with locals, experience cultures in a genuine way, and create friendships that last beyond the trip.

For me, it’s all about sharing stories, learning new perspectives, and making memories together. Whether it’s cooking a meal, exploring hidden gems, or simply chatting about life, I love how Couchsurfing turns strangers into friends.

It’s amazing how a simple act of hosting or staying with someone can make the world feel smaller and more connected. So, here I am—excited to share my journey and be part of yours!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: I’m a big fan of movies that make you think or just give you a good laugh. Anything from Christopher Nolan’s mind-bending plots to feel-good classics like Forrest Gump. And yes, I’m always up for a good Bollywood film—bonus points if there’s dancing involved!

Music: My playlist is a mix of everything! From calming acoustic tunes to energizing Bollywood beats, and even some retro classics. Traveling? Let’s trade playlists and discover new favorites together.

Books: I love getting lost in stories that inspire and challenge perspectives. Some of my favorites include The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari, and anything that sparks creativity or wanderlust.
