Hi, I’m Ijaz — a curious soul, passionate traveler, and geologist from Kerala, India.
I travel not just to see places, but to meet people, listen to stories, unlearn, relearn, and grow as a human.

I love sharing chai with locals, having long conversations, walking through markets, taking road trips, and exploring nature. I believe every person carries a small universe inside them — and I enjoy discovering that universe through deep, meaningful talks.

Traveling taught me that we are all connected, no matter where we come from. I move from place to place, people to people, culture to culture, story to story — collecting memories that stay forever.

I am not a tourist.
I am a traveler who listens, learns, and lives fully.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because Couchsurfing feels like home anywhere in the world.

For me, CS is not a free stay — it’s a community of kindness, curiosity, and genuine connection.

I’ve been using Couchsurfing for 3+ years, and every experience has been filled with unconditional love, care, and beautiful friendships. Through CS, I hope to meet people from different cultures, learn from them, explore life together, and share what Kerala has to offer.

I believe in giving first — opening my door, sharing food, offering comfort, and connecting with people who carry stories and dreams from every corner of the world.

A Little Bit About My Travel Philosophy

I don’t travel to tick boxes.
I travel to feel places, connect with people, learn cultures, and understand the world deeper.

I’m a curious guy and always ready to explore something new, meet someone new, or learn a new perspective. Every person I meet becomes a small part of my journey.
