Hey eveyrone! I’m Deepak — born in India but my true address has always been the open road.

🌿 I am a proud Hitchhiker, budget traveler and seeker of truth. I strongly believe in the Couchsurfing community.

I'm documenting my journey now with daily video journals on YT and meditating on the amazing people I am meeting.

I love unplanned conversations, cooking together, learning local languages, and being a part of everyday life wherever I go.

That’s why you’ll usually see me walking for miles, catching rides with strangers, hopping on local buses, or choosing a simple stay over luxury… because that’s where real stories live.

For me, travel isn’t about ticking places off a map — it’s about feeling connected, grounded, and alive.

And I’m always ready for the next sunrise, the next story, and the next stranger-turned-friend.

💭 My Life Philosophy

“Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam – the whole world is one family.”

I travel with an open heart, seeing people beyond borders and labels.

For me, kindness is universal, curiosity is my compass, and every new face is just a friend waiting to be met. 🌍❤️

...

I love to cook and I travel with camping gear so I'm always making fresh meals.

I love storytelling; videography; video editing and I just started livestreaming.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I use Couchsurfing not just to find a place to stay, but to truly step into a new world — different language, different food and traditions.

I’m not searching for free accommodation — I’m searching for genuine human connection.

I am traveling autonomously, so I merely need a place to lay my tent or my mat, anything else is extra and much appreciated.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I walked over 4,000 km barefoot for 6 months.

I journeyed along the sacred Narmada River — with no money, no shoes, and nothing but complete trust in the universe.

I spent 10 months hitchhiking across India — covering more than 15,000 km with nothing but courage, curiosity, and the kindness of strangers. I have been all around India and now on a world trip, hitchking thru each country slowly and enjoying whatever I find.
