👋 Hey there, I’m Brij!

A curious soul from Gujarat, India with one foot in tech and the other in hospitality — and a heart that beats for adventure, stories, and soulful connections. 🌍💬

🧑‍💻 Professionally:

I studied Information Technology, but life had other plans. Now, I run my own business in my hometown — a path that’s taught me more than any textbook ever could. I blend my love for people, culture, and service into everything I do.

🎶 Artistically:

Music has been my first love. I’ve studied Indian classical music, which helps me stay grounded and emotionally tuned in a fast-paced world.

🌊 Adventure Mode: ON
• Certified PADI Open Water Diver – Trained in Goa, I’ve explored the deep blue like a dreamer chasing stars under the sea.
• Trekker by Passion – From the serene trails of Himachal Pradesh to the summit of Gurushikhar (Rajasthan’s highest peak), every step has added a chapter to my story.
• I also love horse riding, swimming, and recently, I’ve started appreciating the beautiful silence of long nature walks.

✈️ Places I’ve Wandered:
• International: Got lost (in a good way) exploring the historic beauty of Saint Petersburg, Russia 🇷🇺
• India:
• Spiritual & Cultural: Pushkar, Dwarka, Jaipur, Udaipur
• Natural Beauty: Ooty, Kodaikanal, Mahabaleshwar, Diu
• Urban Vibes: Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Goa, Surat, Vadodara, Daman
• Mystical: Elephanta Caves, Himachal
…and the list keeps growing!

• I had the incredible opportunity to witness the Kumbh Mela in 2025—one of the largest spiritual gatherings in the world! The energy, the rituals, the vibrant colors, and the overwhelming sense of devotion were like nothing I’ve ever experienced. It was a beautiful mix of spirituality, culture, and human connection, and I had the chance to meet fellow travelers and locals alike, sharing stories and moments that will stay with me forever.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To connect beyond borders. I believe every person carries a world within them — stories, laughter, struggles, dreams. I’m here not just to see new places but to meet new perspectives. Whether it’s a shared chai by the sea or a late-night rooftop talk under the stars, Couchsurfing is where strangers become storytellers and friends.

Let’s swap tales, share meals, and explore this beautiful world together. 🌍✨

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Diving into the unknown — literally and metaphorically

Teach, Learn, Share

Knowledge is a Power.

“Exploring the ocean taught me what coding taught me years ago: the best discoveries happen when you’re calm under pressure, keep breathing, and stay curious.”

I can share my work experience and my life experience.

What I Can Share with Hosts

• Great conversations about tech, travel, and life 🎙️.
• Stories from my journeys and my work in hospitality 🌍.
