Overview
About Me
Kolkata is my hometown, and on 17th October 1995 I arrived in this world. I’m 21 now, still learning, still growing, and always curious. I know no one can learn everything in life—but I want to learn everything about my love and my goal: travel.
For me, travel is life. Every new road feels like a new love, which is why my “girlfriend” changes every day—the next destination, the next unknown lane, the next adventure. Until I explore every narrow corner of this world, I don’t want to stop.
I believe we only get a few years on this planet, so why stay in one place? The whole world feels like my home, and I wish to experience every part of it.
Right now, I’m a college student. People say I should focus only on studies, but my dream keeps calling me. I study so that one day I can earn enough to keep my promise to myself: to travel across the world and explore the hidden, narrow places that most people never see.
Every day I wonder when I will fulfill my goal. And then I realize—nothing will start until I start. So I’m taking small steps now, dreaming big, learning, preparing, and meeting amazing people through platforms like Couchsurfing.
I’m friendly, respectful, curious, and always excited to learn from others. If we meet, I’d love to share stories about Kolkata, road trips, life lessons, and the dream that fuels me.

What I Can Share with Hosts
My india as it was and as it will be.
Kolkata means a lot to me. This is the place I grow up with. Where I found my Love and realize that this native world not so much happy place to stay. This is the mainly a Travel Story but without knowing how people live here, Or eat here no story can’t complete. Every year so many of travelers or normal tourist came here. Many of them are really interest about Calcutta’s heritage. Beside this the city gives you a idea about life. So many people lives here poorly but happily.
You can see many heritage palace in my city. More than 200 years they stand here. My city is so much older and her history and heritage so much older than any other city in India. When you came here or search about Kolkata you see that all our heritage and history link up with British Empire. Historical palace in Kolkata made by British Empire mostly. When India ruled by East India Company Kolkata is known as “East Paris”.
Today Calcutta: Calcutta now Kolkata. From the first to still today Kolkata going is her way. Every group of people lived here around from the globe. And so many people want to came here and stay here for few days or rest of their life. But funny fact is that our youth don’t want to stay here. Because they thought the city can’t give them what they want. It’s true that India is going and developing country but Kolkata don’t run first like other states Mumbai, Delhi.
When you arrive in Kolkata you see so many things that you read in Books or Internet. Then you realize how happy you are and do something for them. They means slums in our City. But if you travel only by car then you don’t see or realise those things.
Guys Kolkata give you 7 star hotels, 5 stars hotels, bar, more than 20 malls. Ancient heritage and so many café. But if you really want to see my City just Walk. And eat street food because only Kolkata gives you world's best street food ever. Every corner of this city of joy, you found people Eat on street stall. Once you try a good street food you really falling love with them.
