I'm Yogesh Bhatt from Mumbai, India. I'm a filmmaker and entrepreneur by profession.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to explore the world, learn new things, meet new people and learn from them about their views and their culture. I hope I can share some things that I have learned from being born in India. I want to have meaningful and enriching connections with new people. Also since I have a newfound interest in cooking so I wish to prepare Indian cuisine for interested folks. I am new to the platform, and will update my profile as I learn how to go about it.
