Hi, I’m Ankit Thakur. I’m from India and currently living in Buon Ma Thuot, Vietnam, where I run my own small business.

I really enjoy meeting travellers from around the world. For me, connecting with people, sharing stories, cultures, and experiences is one of the best parts of life.

I used to be a backpacker myself, so I understand the travel spirit — exploring new places, learning from locals, and creating meaningful connections. Now I’m building my own projects here, but I still love being part of the travel community.

If you’re passing through Buon Ma Thuot, feel free to connect. Let’s share a coffee, stories, and good conversations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I really enjoy meeting new people from different cultures. I think travel is not only about seeing new places but also about meeting new people and having new experiences.

I was a backpacker myself, and Couchsurfing introduced me to some incredible people and gave me some amazing memories. Now that I’m living in Buon Ma Thuot, I’d like to give back to the travel community and meet some fellow travellers.
