I’m Pragati — a traveler at heart, endlessly curious about the world and the way people live. I love exploring new cultures not as a tourist, but as a local… whether it’s experiencing the quiet magic of a mundane French evening, cooking homemade Japanese food in a small town in Japan, or blending into everyday life in places far from home.

For me, travel has always been more than sightseeing.
It’s about living life as different nationalities, sharing stories, understanding traditions, and discovering the beauty of ordinary moments across the world.

With this vision, I created Connectale — a platform where borders transcend, lines blur, and people connect through authentic cultural exchange. Here, travelers don’t just visit India; they live it.

If you believe in slow travel, real connections, and experiencing cultures from the inside out — we already have something in common. 🌍✨

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Hey! I’m Pragati 👋 Founder of Connectale India.

I host and curate cultural exchange trips where travelers from around the world can experience India the real way—by living a week as an Indian, staying with local families, exploring traditions, and celebrating our vibrant festivals like Holi, Diwali, and Navratri.

Connectale is rooted in my belief that travel becomes truly meaningful when it connects people, not just places. My goal is to create a space where cultures meet, stories are exchanged, and friendships grow naturally.

If you’re curious about India’s everyday life, festivals, food, and warmth—I’d love to welcome you into the Connectale family. 🌍✨

教，学，和分享

I’d love to teach you what I know about architecture, interior design, and creative space styling — whether it’s sketching ideas, talking design philosophies, or simply sharing how spaces influence our moods. In return, I’m always eager to learn anything and everything that can add to my little pool of knowledge — your culture, language, stories, recipes, or even the small rituals of your daily life. I believe in the magic of shared experiences, deep conversations, and open-hearted exchanges. Let’s swap ideas, energy, and a few laughs along the way!

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I run Connectale India, where we curate different cultural-exchange trip editions throughout the year, each revolving around India’s seasonal festivals and celebrations. From Holi to Diwali to Navratri, I love sharing the stories, traditions, and everyday moments that make our culture vibrant.

I can share what it truly feels like to live with an Indian family, cook Indian meals together, celebrate festivals the local way, and experience the warmth, chaos, and beauty of daily Indian life. If you’re curious about our culture, I’d be happy to bring a little piece of India into your home! 🇮🇳✨
