Hello fellow travelers! My name is Salmanul Fares, you can call me Salman.

I'm an IT professional, originally from Kerala, India and currently working in Dubai.

I love to experience cultures, meet new people, take public transit and get a taste the daily life of the wherever I go.

In my free time I play chess and try to work on my Arabic. I enjoy hiking and playing soccer; anything that gives me an endorphin rush. I love watching comedy and laugh a lot around people I like, I believe jokes are a lot of pun.

I don't smoke or drink, but feel free to invite me to your parties and watch me get high on apple juice and diet pepsi

As I host, I welcome anyone who's visiting Kerala to crash at my place. Especially if your goal of travel is to have a taste of the culture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I visit people, not places; CS allows me to meet the locals and be a part of their collective being.

As I host, I seek to return the favor.

Events and Hangouts are also so fun here 😅
