Hello fellow travelers! I'm Mangesh, a working professional with a passion for exploration. I've discovered that traveling not only broadens my horizons but also sharpens my mind. When I'm not working, you can find me on solo backpacking adventures, immersing myself in new cultures and meeting fascinating people.

I'm excited to connect with like-minded individuals on Couchsurfing and share stories of my journeys. As a host, I'm open to welcoming travelers with good reviews and a trustworthy vibe. Let's exchange experiences, learn from each other, and create unforgettable memories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because it is time to realize that the world has found way too many incentives behind dividing us and we must find more ways to unite. Because we must claim what is ours - trustful and nurtured connections in a universe where we belong. So, we can begin from this world, right?

And also because a best friend is always a stranger first.

Interests

I'm very passionate about what I do :)
I'm a Biotechnology professional and political observer so I can bore you with any of these topics 😛. But I'm also a very passionate traveler and have traveled to 10 countries and rest of India. I love to dance, watch a lot of tv series and movies, even reading sometimes.

I love meeting new people and making new friends. Getting to know about different cultures, customs and traditions is something I look forward to. I've made amazing friends from last few visits and have had the good fortune of knowing about so many cultures. I absolutely want to continue to do so for the rest of my life .

• reading
• watching sports
• exploring new places

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is an essential part of my being so I am immersed in various sounds of the world (except for hip-hop/rap/hard-rock/metal and anything with mediocre lyrics)
Ghazal, Qawwali, Singer songwriters, Jazz, Blues, Folk, Indian Classical (diving deeper into Western Classical now), Classic Rock, Soul, Progressive and Alternate genres are welcome too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Honestly I love helping others. Let's just say whenever someone asks for any help i try my best to provide them atleast with some. More importantly, I love meeting new people, interacting with them, understanding various cultures. And since I plan to travel sometime soon, these interactions would definitely help me a lot in viewing countries and their cultures from a different perspective. Moreover, every person has a story of his own. Be it a success or faliure and I would definitely try to inculcate those on my Instagram blog, which I have been doing.
