I'm a journalist/writer based in Toronto, Canada. I grew up in India and the Middle East.

I recently returned from a one-year travel sabbatical and am keen to meet travelers and locals.

Aprendiendo Español; puedo hablar y entender un poco y siempre estoy buscando oportunidades de practicar mi Español – y ayudar a otros con su Inglés!

CS user since 2012.

Newly on IG: @rahul.kalvapalle

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

To meet travellers and locals interested in exploring places and sharing conversation over a drink or food.

My Couchsurfing adventure began when I first traveled to Spain in 2012. I wrote an article about my experience: https://rahulkalvapalle.files.wordpress.com/2016/03/couchsurfing-sofa-so-good1.pdf

I’ve since hosted a couple of surfers and organized outings in Toronto and on my travels
