Hey there! I’m Nishad K Saleem from Kerala, India —home of coconut trees, spices, and soulful backwaters.I’m an entrepreneur, startup enthusiast. I co-founded PlaySpots, a sports aggregator platform connecting people to playgrounds across India.

So far, I’ve visited 19 countries, and every trip taught me that the real magic isn’t in the monuments, it’s in the people. I’ve shared food, music, laughs etc.

- How I Recharge

Hiking & nature trails.
Going on spontaneous road trips
Listening to music from every language I don’t understand
Volunteering and social impact projects
Organizing events, meetups.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To me, traveling is not just about visiting places — it’s about experiencing lives, cultures, food, and stories. Couchsurfing lets me do exactly that. I love the idea of genuine human connection — staying with locals, learning their way of life, and sharing mine. It's also amazing how strangers can turn into friends over a good meal or shared adventure.

I love sharing cultures, learning from locals, and exchanging ideas. Staying with hosts gives me a more authentic perspective on life in different corners of the world — something no hotel can offer.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I come with spicy Kerala vibes, fun travel stories, and a big smile. I love cooking (not the best chef, but hey — effort counts, right? 😄). My dishes might be experimental, but the laughs are always real.

I believe Couchsurfing is all about connection — sharing cultures, swapping stories, and creating moments that turn into beautiful memories. I’m also a good listener, easy to talk to, and always up for meaningful convos or silly adventures.

More than just a guest, I hope to be a good friend you’ll remember long after the trip ends.
