Hey! I'm Heet from Ahmedabad, India. I’m someone who’s endlessly curious about people, cultures, and conversations that stay with you long after they’re over.

I run a youth-led learning initiative called The Thryve School and a mental health movement called The Listening Circle. I believe in learning by living — whether it's through a powerful book, a difficult moment, or a talk with a stranger.

I’ve always dreamed of exploring the world, not through hotels and itineraries, but through homes, hearts, and shared meals. Couchsurfing feels like the perfect place for that.

You’ll mostly find me reading in parks, hosting community events, or walking aimlessly just to meet someone new.

Let’s share stories, laughter, and maybe even cook something together! (I can only cut vegetables thought!😂)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing to meet people beyond the tourist bubble — to share stories, learn from locals, and experience a place through real connections. I believe the best part of any journey isn’t the destination, but the people you meet along the way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Started building free mini libraries across various parks of my city.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I can help teaching Community Building, communication skills 101 and how can we initiate new things.
Learn: I am here to learn about anything to everything

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share great conversations, book recommendations, and stories from my work with youth and mental health in India. I'm always happy to help out, just listen and learn. If you're curious, I can also share what it’s like building communities and starting a school from scratch!
