Namaste! I’m Amit, originally from Varanasi and currently working in India as an HR professional with a deep interest in people, culture, and conversations that go beyond the surface. I value tradition, but I’m equally curious about the world and how people live their everyday lives in different corners of it. Calm by nature, observant, and someone who believes in mutual respect over loud opinions. You’ll often find me blending logic with a bit of spirituality—and maybe a few dad jokes along the way!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m here to meet people beyond borders, to learn how they live, think, and celebrate life. I believe real travel is not about ticking off places—it’s about sharing meals, stories, silences, and laughter. I want to teach what I know, learn what I don’t, and build soulful connections that no guidebook can offer. For me, Couchsurfing is not just a place to stay—it’s a way to grow.

Interests

To experience real people, not hotel check-ins. To share stories and maybe learn a local recipe or prayer chant along the way. I believe we don’t need to go far to travel deep.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy soulful music with meaning, timeless books that stir thought, and coffee as a companion to silence. My movie taste leans toward thought-provoking and spiritual cinema—films like Swades, Barfi, PK, Guide, The Pursuit of Happyness, and Life of Pi reflect the kind of stories I connect with: journeys of self, purpose, and heart.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once sat silently at the banks of the Ganga during sunrise, watching the world wake up—without touching my phone, without speaking a word. In that moment, I felt completely present, small yet connected to something timeless. That stillness has stayed with me more than any thrill could.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach wisdom, learn stories, share smiles, and sip coffee.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I bring good conversation, deep respect for your space and culture, and a calm presence. I’m happy to share stories from India, offer help with cooking a simple vegetarian meal, or just enjoy a quiet cup of tea together. I travel light—with curiosity, gratitude, and no drama.
