Hi, I’m Abhinav , an Indian from Kerala, often called God’s Own Country. I’m currently in my final year of General Medicine in Almaty, Kazakhstan.

I’m an artist who loves creating caricatures, and I enjoy photography and videography using both mobile and camera — along with editing my own work. I’m also a dancer and have performed in many solo and group shows. One of my biggest passions is aeromodelling, especially control line, RC, and static models.

I’m the founder of “Novora Travel” Instagram : “ @novoratravel “, a licensed tour company that started with a focus on Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan and now operates across Central Asia and beyond.

I enjoy travelling in a simple, meaningful way — often hitchhiking and couchsurfing to connect with people and cultures. I speak English fluently; Malayalam is my mother tongue, and I also speak Hindi and Tamil, with basic Russian.

Outside academics and travel, I’m a sports rifle shooter and have won multiple competitions. I also had the honor of participating in India’s Republic Day parade in 2019 at Rajpath.

Friendly, curious, and respectful — always happy to share stories, skills, and good conversations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I use Couchsurfing to meet people from around the world, travel together, share experiences, and learn from each other. I’m happy to help travelers planning trips, especially those interested in exploring new countries and cultures.

For me, Couchsurfing is about genuine human connection — making good friends, sharing skills, and creating meaningful memories. I’m open to whatever positive connections come naturally, including long-term friendships or a life partner.

Interests

I love travelling to explore new places, learn new things, and meet positive, genuine people. I believe every journey is a chance to grow, share knowledge, and make life more meaningful and productive. For me, the most important part of travelling is finding good people, building real connections, and creating happy memories together.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don’t have a specific taste in music/movies/books — I enjoy all kinds. The same goes for food; I love trying dishes from different places and cultures.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had the honor of marching in India’s Republic Day Parade in 2019 at Rajpath, representing my country on one of its most important national occasions.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you practice English and also teach basic Hindi, Malayalam, and Tamil.
I’m happy to share my skills in aeromodelling, drawing, and dancing.
As a medical student, I can also help you understand more about your body and general health.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If possible, I’m happy to host and share my space. I can offer accommodation, home-cooked meals (especially Indian food), and good company. I enjoy spending time with guests — exploring the city, travelling around, or just relaxing and talking. I always try to be flexible and considerate of guests’ needs and requests.
