Hi, I’m Manoj Kumar — a traveler, storyteller, and the creator behind the YouTube channel Travelling Mantra (610K+ subscribers).

Traveling for me is not a job… it’s a passion.

I’ve explored 90+ countries across the world — from places like North Korea and Syria to remote parts of Africa — not just to travel, but to understand cultures, people, and real life beyond tourist views.

For me, travel is not just about destinations… it’s about stories, human connections, and discovering the unseen side of the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing, for me, is not just about staying or hosting — it’s about real connections.

I love meeting people from different backgrounds, sharing cultures, and exchanging life experiences.
I believe the best way to understand a place is not through Google… but through locals and real conversations.

Also, I enjoy helping travelers who are visiting India — guiding them, hosting them, or simply sharing insights so they can experience the country in a better way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled to some of the most challenging and unique destinations like North Korea, Syria, Nigeria, Eritrea, and many more — places where very few travelers go.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you’re coming to Delhi, I can offer:

A separate room (depending on availability)
Local guidance & real Delhi experience
Food, conversations & cultural exchange
Help with travel planning across India

For me, hosting is not just about space… it’s about making you feel comfortable and welcome.

I prefer meaningful interactions over formalities.
Even if hosting is not possible, I’m always open for a meetup, coffee, or city exploration together.
