Currently exploring Ireland 🇮🇪

Hello! 👋🏻

We are Nav (M) and Shish (F) - and we're a married couple from Bangalore, a city in southern India! We love travel (which is how we landed here on CS) and curious about life in all countries.

We left home in May 2022 and have been travelling full-time since then - spending the last three years exploring beautiful lands and cultures, making new friends and learning so much!

In the last one year, we Hitchhiked across Africa - from Nairobi, Kenya to Cape Town, South Africa - covering 20,000 kms with stops along the way! And over the last three months we travelled through China and Mongolia before making our way to Europe!

Oh, we're vegetarian 🌱 (don't eat meat, chicken, fish, etc.) - it’s hard to survive in some places, but we’ve managed fine in most countries.

Btw, we documented our travel on our YouTube channel - just search for "Nav and Shish" 👬🏻

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to meet locals who can teach about the way of life, local sights, history and everyday life in their city! If you invite us to stay with you, we're very well behaved surfers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Leaving home to travel full-time 😅

Teach, Learn, Share

💰 Investing: worked in investment banking - can teach you how to grow your personal wealth

✈️ Budget travel: can help you find cheap flights and share travel tips and tricks, and true money saving tactics for the countries we've explored

📸 Blogging, photos and filmmaking: done it for a few years now - can share all learnings from this. Can also click some nice photos for you!

What I Can Share with Hosts

🥰 Stories: We have many incredible (and dangerous) stories to share from our travels around the world! Especially about human kindness

🍛 Food: we can prepare south Indian dishes if you have a kitchen (and also teach you the recipes!)

🧘🏻‍♀️ Yoga: one of us has been doing this for a looong time, and can teach you some useful asanas or we can practice together
