Hey! my name is Jwala Kumar, i am from Bihar, India 🇮🇳. I’m a psychology graduate with a deep interest in philosophy, education, yoga, and travel. I believe in simple living, deep conversations, and learning from every culture and person I meet.

I love exploring local traditions, food, and spiritual places. I enjoy meaningful talks, sharing experiences, and understanding how people live around the world.

Couchsurfing, for me, is not just a place to sleep—it's a chance to connect, share, and grow together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a wonderful platform that goes beyond hotels or hostels. I’m here to experience authentic local life, learn from different cultures, and meet people who enjoy sharing their world with others.

For me, it’s about cultural exchange, deep conversations, and discovering places through the eyes of locals—not just guidebooks.
