Oi! Bom dia!

My name is Rishabh Sharma and I’m from Mumbai, India. I’m a corporate lawyer, which means my days often involve contracts, negotiations, and structured thinking. But beyond the formal side of my work, I’m very much a people-oriented, creative soul. I strongly identify as a right-brainer —I enjoy thinking imaginatively, seeking connections beyond the obvious, and expressing myself in ways that go beyond routine logic.

I have a deep love for football, not just as a sport but as a universal language that brings people together across cultures. Whether it’s playing, watching, or discussing matches, football is one of my favorite ways to connect with others.

Traveling is a big part of who I am. I’m passionate about exploring new places, learning about different cultures, and understanding how people live and think around the world. For me, travel is less about ticking destinations off a list and more about meaningful experiences, shared stories, and genuine human connections.

I truly enjoy meeting new people and engaging in thoughtful conversations—about life, ideas, culture, creativity, or even everyday moments. I consider myself compassionate and empathetic, with a strong belief in kindness, respect, and shared humanity. I try to approach people and experiences with an open mind and an open heart.

Currently, I’m planning a 18-day trip to the United States (New York, Houston and Miami) to be a part of the FIFA World Cup 2026 and witness history, a.k.a Cristiano Ronaldo. If I’ve reached out to you with a request to share your space, and you’ve made it this far into my profile, I’d be grateful if you helped out a young boy live his dream.

Obrigado, amigo!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing not just to find a place to stay, but to exchange perspectives, build friendships, and be part of a global community that values trust, curiosity, and cultural exchange. Whether we end up talking late into the night, watching a football match together, or simply sharing a meal, I appreciate authentic moments and meaningful connections.
