I'm a government employee by profession, who gets sufficient amount of holidays per year. I just try to utilize those holidays to the fullest by traveling, which is my passion.

Writing in English is the other thing which I admire from the core of my heart. I have been fascinated with the beauty of the language since my childhood and just want to thank the Almighty to make me capable enough to express my little and trivial feelings in English words.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling is incomplete without knowing the people who are living in the place I'm visiting. Couchsurfing is the platform whose sole objective is to connect people who are driven by one and only MANTRA i.e. traveling.

When I visit any place it is impossible to discover the best things of that particular place without involving the locals. That's the time when CS comes to a rescue where I can have an authentic and raw experience of the day to day life of that place.

As I'm fond of the history of the places I'm traveling to, CS can be very helpful. Using the hangouts, I can chill and discuss the popular things which are in trend with people having different points of view. It's a great platform to enhance socializing skills.
