Hey! I'm Raj from India, currently living in the Netherlands. I'm a software engineer who loves to travel, meet new people, and explore different cultures.

I enjoy cooking Indian food (happy to share a meal if we meet!) and hearing stories from fellow travelers. Always up for a good chat, a walk around the city, or a spontaneous adventure.

Looking forward to making new friends and sharing great experiences!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hi! Right now, I’m sharing an apartment with a few people, so I’m not able to host. But I’ll be moving to a new place soon, and then I’ll start accepting guests — maybe even do a house exchange for a week or month.

If you're planning to visit the Netherlands, we can meet for a coffee! I’d love to share some cool things to do here. Once I settle into my new place, I’ll invite you over for a stay — you can crash on my couch and use the kitchen too.

If that sounds good, feel free to accept my request!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wandered through the magical streets of Paris at midnight with no map, no phone battery, and no clue where I was — just curiosity and a calm heart. I got lost, met a few kind strangers, saw the Eiffel Tower sparkle in silence, and somehow made it back by sunrise. It felt like a dream I survived — and loved every second of it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to cook a few tasty Indian-style dishes — easy and full of flavor! I also love talking about travel experiences and can share tips on exploring places on a budget.

If you're looking for a job or just need a little motivation, I’m happy to help and share what worked for me. Always open to learning new things from people I meet!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook a delicious South Indian meal — like dosa, sambar, and chutney! I’m happy to share good conversations, travel stories, and help around the house. Always respectful of space and happy to contribute in any way I can.
