Hey there! I’m Piyush Sharma, also known as Nomad Sharma on social media—a 21-year-old engineering student who’s building a life full of travel, stories, and unexpected turns.

I started solo traveling on a student budget, and what began as a break from routines turned into a passion for exploring mountains, villages, and local cultures. Whether it’s hitchhiking through Himachal or backpacking on ₹300/day, I love getting out of my comfort zone.

I’m not just exploring places, I’m exploring people, ideas, and ways of living. I create content to document this journey and inspire others to step out and live more curiously.
Let’s meet, talk about life, laugh over food, or just share our travel journals.

For behind-the-scenes glimpses, follow me on Instagram (@nomad_sharma). Get ready to explore the world—one captivating destination at a time!

Currently in India 📍.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

To meet new people and hear real, unfiltered stories

To understand cultures beyond guidebooks

To make meaningful connections while traveling solo

To exchange ideas, values, and travel hacks

And yeah... budget travel is real when you’re a student 😄

Couchsurfing isn’t just about finding a place to sleep—it’s about discovering humanity across borders.
