About Me
Dear friends
Greetings of the season!
I trust, you are doing good.
Before you write me, I request, please read the profile.
My house is over night journey from Mumbai. This is my parents house and permitted only for female. Once my house is ready, then all are welcome.
We are joint family of six adult, two kids and a dog.
There is shortage so no electricity supply 4 hours a day in the whole division.
Below is some information about me and my trip of around the world.
I am Vishnudas Chapke, Indian journalist. I was working with Mumbai based English newspapers - Afternoon DC and Free Press Journal. I was entrusted to cover Regional Politics.
I have circumnavigated the globe overland (circle the earth by land route).
I started the trip on March 19, 2016, then crossed Asia, Australia, South America and Central America, North America, Europe, West Asia, Central Asia and back to Mumbai on March 21, 2019.
List of countries I have visited: Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, China, Australia, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Portugal, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Turkey, Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, China, Laos, Thailand, Myanmar and back to India.
I'm vegetarian. I do not smoke or drink. My family is vegetarian from last 11 generations. That is very common in India since we are blessed with fertile land that produce vegetables and fruits. We have variety of vegetables and fruits.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Since I embarked on adventure trip of Circumnavigation, I need guidance and information about local terrain, climate and regional. I may also require accommodation and other help during my world journey.
Interests
I'm a patience listener and I have information or say on everything under the Sun (except politics and religion). I practice Yoga and Vipasana. I like travelling, climbing mountain, swimming (I can sleep on water for hour/ floating). I play football and volleyball.
