Hey there! 👋 I’m Gaurav—Stanford grad, doctor by profession, and a full-time wanderlust-driven nomad. 🌍 I’ve explored 68 countries so far (and no, I’m not stopping until I hit 100… or maybe even more!).

Solo travel is my jam, but it’s never really solo—I always end up with a phone full of photos, a head full of stories, and a bunch of lifelong friends. Whether it’s swapping travel tips over street food, learning the art of a perfect toast in local languages, or diving into a new culture headfirst, I’m all in. 🥂🍜

When I’m not busy saving lives, you’ll find me chasing sunsets, planning my next adventure, or getting lost in the kind of conversations that make you forget time. I’m a firm believer that every place has its magic and every person has a story worth hearing—what’s yours?

Life’s too short for boring routines, so let’s make some unforgettable memories together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A backpacker friend introduced me to Couchsurfing, and I’ve been hooked ever since! It’s more than just finding a place—it’s about meeting amazing nomads, sharing travel stories, and getting inspired by the adventurous spirit of fellow travelers.

If you’re up for swapping laughs, tips, and wild backpacking tales, let’s connect and make some unforgettable memories together!
