Hi there! I'm Aryan Jain, a 24-year-old from India. My work keeps me busy, but I love balancing it with travel and new experiences.

I'm passionate about technology, innovation, and building connections with people from diverse backgrounds. My travel adventures often revolve around attending industry events, exploring new cultures, and learning from the incredible people I meet along the way.

Outside of work, I’m a vegetarian and have recently started focusing on fitness. I’m currently on a journey to gain some weight and muscle at the gym. Standing at 5'11" and weighing 65kg, I’m enjoying this new chapter of my life.

In my free time, I love exploring local cuisines (vegetarian options are my go-to), hiking, and discovering hidden gems in every city I visit. I’m also quite the tech geek, so I’m always up for conversations about the latest in tech and innovation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in the magic of human connections and love the idea of sharing experiences and stories with locals. Couchsurfing offers a unique way to dive deeper into the culture of a place and make meaningful friendships along the way. I’m excited to meet new people, learn from them, and hopefully share a bit of my own culture too.
