Hi, I’m Nibedita 😊

Originally from Odisha, currently based in Bangalore. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to travel across different parts of India, and somewhere along the way I realised that what I enjoy most isn’t just the places, but the people and stories behind them.

I love understanding cultures — through food, conversations, and everyday life. From coastal Odisha to the mountains of the north, and now living in the south, I’ve been lucky to experience how diverse yet connected we are.

I’m easygoing, enjoy meaningful conversations, and also appreciate quiet moments. I’m not someone who needs constant plans, but I do enjoy spontaneous travel ideas and exploring local experiences.

For me, Couchsurfing is about genuine connections — sharing stories, perspectives, and maybe a meal or two. 😊

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing to experience places through people — their stories, their everyday lives, and the little things that don’t show up on maps.

Interests

I’m someone who finds interest in almost everything, but especially enjoy crafts, cooking, food, and travel.

• books
• traveling
• food
• cooking and baking
• art and craft
• history and culture

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I enjoy folk music, semi-classical, and soft romantic songs — something that feels soothing and meaningful.

Movies: I prefer movies that are light, meaningful, and less on violence — not a fan of horror.

Books: I enjoy reading, especially Indian mythology and historical fiction — books like The Mahabharata Secret and Sita by Devdutt Pattanaik, and stories rooted in India’s history and culture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I’ve done is transform from someone who was once scared to move away from home into someone who now finds joy in exploring new places and meeting new people. From growing up in Odisha to living in the north and now the south—and even travelling across India from east to west—I’ve had the chance to meet people from different states and understand their food, traditions, and way of life. It has completely changed how I see India.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories, conversations, and a bit of my cultural journey across India. I enjoy connecting over food, so I’d be happy to cook or share something from my region. I also believe in being respectful, easygoing, and contributing in small ways wherever I stay.
