Hi, I’m Abhilash — a traveler, storyteller, and social change facilitator from India. My life revolves around creating spaces where young people can discover their potential, challenge themselves, and contribute to positive change. I design immersive learning journeys that take young people far beyond the walls of classrooms, into the heart of rural India, where they live, learn, and work alongside communities creating real change. It’s my way of mixing adventure with impact, and it keeps me endlessly inspired.

Travel is my way of staying curious about the world. I’m happiest when I’m living with local families, sharing meals, and listening to stories that carry the heartbeat of a place. I’ve worked alongside farmers, artists, social entrepreneurs, and changemakers, each one teaching me something new about life, resilience, and hope.

I believe in kindness, shared laughter, and the magic of genuine conversations. Whether it’s exploring hidden corners of a city, photographing life in its raw beauty, or simply cooking together, I’m always looking for moments that turn into unforgettable memories.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

To me, Couchsurfing is more than just a place to crash — it’s a way to connect deeply with people, cultures, and stories. I’ve always felt that travel becomes richer when you experience a place through the eyes of those who call it home.

Every traveler carries a suitcase of adventures, and I love unpacking those stories — tales of hope, resilience, and the little moments that change us. In return, I share my own journeys, filled with encounters from rural villages, bustling cities, and communities working for social change.

I’ll keep this one a mystery — let’s save it for when we meet in person. 😉

教，学，和分享

I’m always open to learning something new — whether it’s a language, a recipe, or a skill. I can share travel stories from remote parts of India, insights from working with communities, and maybe even cook you a simple but tasty meal from my travels.
