Hey, I’m Manoj — a former DJ/ Video Director turned hostel host who loves bringing people together through art, music, and good energy. My place is a creative space where travelers can leave their mark. I especially welcome female artists who’d like to paint and share their style on our walls — turning the hostel into a living gallery. If you travel with a musical instrument, you’ll fit right in. We often have chill evening jam sessions, good conversations, and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Looking for open-minded, positive people who enjoy creating, sharing, and connecting.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
It is so exciting to meet/host people from different backgrounds. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I met very first CS in March 2011. It was only 4 days, but it was an interesting meeting with Eludie and Mike, from Belgium. we walked to many places around the city and have done graffiti in Kandy for the first time in my life. Move to the beach with a couchsurfer, started a restaurant which became the most popular in Kalpitiya (#1 on Tripadvisor from 2016 up to now). Recently went to meet two surfers at 2:15 a.m. to climb the most secret mountain, and we have done in 2hrs time, the fastest climb of mine and the very first climb for one of them.
