Hey there! 👋 I'm Filbin, a curious traveler from India and Germany, always eager to connect with new people and experience different cultures. I work as a marketer, but outside of that, I love exploring, learning, and sharing good conversations over a meal or a drink. 🍻

Right now, I’m embarking on a four-month journey through the Philippines, Indonesia, Australia, and New Zealand with my wife and our two little humans 😊. 🌍 We’re excited to immerse ourselves in nature, culture, and local life—especially through CouchSurfing! We believe in slow travel, meaningful connections, and leaving a place better than we found it.

At home, I enjoy good food, outdoor activities, and the occasional deep dive into tech, mechanics, or a great book. I also love walking in nature, gardening, cooking delicious meals, fishing, and vibing to some good techno music. 🎶

We’re looking forward to meeting fellow travellers and locals—whether for a coffee ☕, a place to stay 🏡, or simply sharing experiences. Let’s make great memories together! 😊

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I believe that the best way to truly experience a place is through its people. I'm excited to meet locals, share stories, and learn from different cultures during my travels across the Philippines, Indonesia, Australia, and New Zealand. 🌍

Couchsurfing offers an opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals who are passionate about travel, sharing experiences, and creating meaningful memories. I also love the idea of staying with locals who can show me the hidden gems of their cities and teach me something new—whether it's a favorite recipe, a cool hiking trail, or just a great spot for a coffee. ☕

As much as I enjoy discovering new places, I also love giving back. I look forward to hosting travellers when I'm back home, exchanging stories, cooking meals together, and perhaps even sharing a fishing trip or a walk in nature!
