Hello! I'm Prakash Patel — a tech enthusiast, AI learner, and database specialist by profession. With over a decade of experience in the IT world, I’m deeply passionate about emerging technologies, especially Artificial Intelligence and how it's shaping our future. I love engaging conversations around tech, innovation, and how digital tools can solve real-world problems.

When I'm not working, I’m a traveler at heart. Exploring new cities, experiencing diverse cultures, and meeting new people is something I truly enjoy. Every journey is a chance to grow, connect, and understand life from a different lens.

As a host, I love offering a warm and respectful space. I do have a humble request to my guests — please help keep the place neat and tidy. A clean space creates a calm atmosphere for both of us and reflects mutual respect.

Whether we’re sharing travel stories, cooking something local, or geeking out over AI and tech trends — I look forward to meaningful exchanges and long-lasting connections!

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing to connect with people from around the world — not just as a host, but also as a traveler who enjoys authentic, local experiences. I believe travel becomes truly meaningful when it’s not just about visiting places, but about meeting people, sharing cultures, and creating lasting memories.

While I enjoy hosting and offering a warm space for fellow travelers, I also look forward to being hosted when I’m on the road. For me, it’s not just about saving on accommodation — it’s about learning from locals, making new friends, and seeing the world through someone else’s perspective.

Whether we bond over a meal, a conversation about AI and technology, or stories from the road — Couchsurfing is my way of embracing human connection and making travel more real and memorable.

Музыка, кино и книги

🎵 Music:
I enjoy soulful and meaningful music — especially Indian classical, peaceful instrumental, and motivational Hindi songs. I also love tunes that energize long work nights or accompany deep thoughts during solo travel. A bit of retro Bollywood always brings nostalgia too.

🎬 Movies:
I’m a fan of movies that inspire, reflect real life, or have a strong message. Some favorites include:

Swades – for its connection to roots and purpose

The Pursuit of Happyness – for its emotional resilience

3 Idiots – for life lessons and friendship

Inception & Interstellar – for their depth and sci-fi brilliance

Documentaries and biopics about visionaries, tech innovators, or spiritual journeys

📚 Books:
I enjoy a mix of self-growth, spiritual, and tech-related books. Some all-time favorites:

“Ikigai” – for discovering purpose

“Atomic Habits” – practical and powerful

“The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari” – a spiritual nudge

Bhagavad Gita – for timeless wisdom

Tech blogs, AI research papers, and thought leadership content are my daily reads too!

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

During one of my solo trips through Northern India, I Couchsurfed with a local artist in Pushkar. We ended up riding a motorbike into the Aravalli hills at sunrise — no GPS, no plan, just stories, chai from a roadside dhaba, and a small temple hidden in the rocks where a priest offered us prasad and peace.

Another unforgettable experience was in Hampi, where I stayed with a fellow Couchsurfer who was a spiritual traveler. We meditated under the stars, visited ancient ruins barefoot, and had deep late-night conversations about AI, consciousness, and karma — bridging two completely different worlds.

These moments reminded me why I love Couchsurfing — it's not just about where you go, but who you go with, and the spontaneous memories you create with people you’d otherwise never meet.
