Hello everyone!

My name is Deepak Dhurve, and I’m from Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh, India. I’m currently studying Computer Science and Engineering, but my true passion lies in traveling and exploring cultures.

So far, I’ve traveled to 8 states across India, and very soon, I plan to begin full-time traveling. I believe in collecting experiences, not things. Meeting people from different walks of life, learning their stories, and embracing diverse cultures is what excites me the most.

I’m also a travel vlogger. I create videos about beautiful tourist places, especially around my hometown and the hidden gems of India. My goal is to inspire others to step out of their comfort zone and see how beautiful and kind the world really is.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
I enjoy a mix of everything — from Indian folk and Bollywood to Lo-fi and travel vibes music. I also love listening to local music when I travel — it tells the story of the place without needing translation.

Books:
I enjoy reading books that inspire travel, self-growth, and a deeper understanding of life. Some favorites are The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, Into the Wild, and books on spirituality or Indian history.

Movies:
I love travel documentaries, meaningful indie films, and anything that inspires adventure. Some favorites:

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

Into the Wild

Highway

3 Idiots

And of course, some fun Bollywood classics too!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once trekked deep into the forests of Bastar and witnessed a tribal festival where the locals danced around a fire all night under the stars. There was no phone network, no modern setup — just pure culture, music, and connection with nature and people. It was one of the most raw and real experiences I’ve ever had, and it reminded me how beautiful life can be when we live simply and stay connected to our roots.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
I can teach you a bit of Hindi, travel vlogging tips, or how to shoot/edit basic videos for YouTube. I’d also love to share stories about tribal culture and hidden places in India, especially from my home region in Chhattisgarh.

Learn:
I’m open to learning anything new — from different cultures, cooking styles, languages, or even just life perspectives. Every person I meet is a new book I want to read.

Share:
I’d love to share travel experiences, good conversations, food, laughter, and maybe even help you discover some Indian music or local recipes. I believe that every moment shared is a memory created!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I may not bring fancy gifts, but I bring good vibes, great conversations, and a genuine respect for your space and culture.

I love to share travel stories from my journeys across India.

I can cook you a simple Indian meal if you’d like to try something local!

I can help with filming or editing videos if you’re into content creation.

If you're interested, I’d love to show you my world through my vlogs and camera lens.

I'm always open to helping with household tasks, cleaning, or anything you need.

Most importantly, I bring a positive attitude, respect, and gratitude for your hospitality.

I truly believe in sharing experiences and growing together. Whether we go on a small adventure, cook a meal, or just talk over tea — I’m happy to contribute however I can.
