Hi, I’m Puneet from Indore, India!
I’m an easy-going, curious, and friendly person who loves meeting people from different cultures and sharing experiences. For me, travel is not only about places but also about people, stories, and connections.

I enjoy exploring heritage sites, nature spots, and local hidden gems and I love showing them to friends and travelers. Recently, I took a friend to Mandav, a historical place near Indore, where we explored monuments like Jahaz Mahal, Rani Roopmati Pavilion, Baz Bahadur’s Palace, and many more.

When I’m not traveling, I enjoy good conversations, trying different cuisines, photography, and learning new perspectives from others. I believe every traveler has a unique story to tell, and I’m always excited to listen and share mine.

I see Couchsurfing as a beautiful way to connect, exchange cultures, and build friendships across the globe

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing because I truly enjoy meeting new people and experiencing the world through their stories. Hosting and surfing give us the chance to go beyond the usual tourist routes and see places through local eyes.

For me, it’s about:

Sharing my city’s history, food, and culture

Learning about different lifestyles and traditions

Building genuine friendships that last beyond the journey 🤝

Whether it’s exploring Indore’s heritage, enjoying local street food, or just having a late-night chat over chai ☕ I’m always open to connecting with fellow travelers.
