Namaste! I'm Chintan Changole, originally from India but currently exploring the beautiful landscapes and cultures of France. I embarked on this adventure to pursue my studies, initially settling in the charming city of Lille before making my way to the vibrant port city of Marseille for an internship opportunity.

I'm on a journey of linguistic and cultural discovery, immersing myself in the French language while cherishing my fluency in English and Hindi and my native language Marathi. Beyond language, I believe in the power of connections and the magic of shared experiences. I'm passionate about traveling, meeting new people, and exchanging stories that bridge the gaps between our diverse backgrounds.

One of my favorite ways to connect with others is through the universal language of food. Whether it's experimenting with new recipes or sharing traditional dishes from my homeland, I find joy in the culinary adventures that bring people together.

If you're looking for a cultural exchange, a language buddy, or simply a fellow traveler to explore Marseille with, don't hesitate to reach out. Let's create unforgettable memories and build meaningful connections along the way!

Happy surfing! 🏄‍♂️

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I believe in the power of authentic connections and the beauty of cultural exchange. As a traveler myself, I understand the importance of feeling welcomed and supported in a new environment. I see Couchsurfing not just as a platform for finding a place to stay, but as a community where like-minded individuals come together to share experiences, stories, and a mutual appreciation for exploration.

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I've had the privilege of doing is embarking on a solo trek through the breathtaking Himalayan mountains in my home country of India. Over several days, I immersed myself in the awe-inspiring beauty of nature, challenged myself both physically and mentally, and experienced moments of profound tranquility that will stay with me forever.
