Hey there! 👋
I’m Shubham, 23 years old, originally from a small town in India and currently living in Europe for my Master’s.

After graduating, I took a remote job and spent two incredible years traveling across India — hands down, some of the best years of my life! The landscapes, the people, the stories... unforgettable.

In Fall 2024, I moved to Italy for my studies. I’ve always been drawn to history, food, and culture — and Italy just brings all of that together beautifully.

I’d say I’m a pretty social and spontaneous person. For me, it’s all about the people I’m with — whether it’s a quiet conversation over coffee or a last-minute adventure, I’m in! I truly believe that most of life’s joys (and even its sorrows) come from the relationships we build.
As the quote goes: "Happiness is only real when shared." ✨ (iykyk)

I love cooking and would be happy to whip up something delicious — Indian or Italian. I'm also really into movies and music, and lately I’ve been diving into world cinema. I enjoy reading too, though I’ll admit I haven't picked up a book in a while (working on it 😅).

📍 Update – August 2025:
I'm currently in Tenerife, Canary Islands 🌴 soaking up the sun for the summer break! I’ll be here until mid-September — always up to meet new people, explore the island, and share stories.

Looking forward to connecting with fellow travelers and kind souls along the way! 🌍

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is a great platform to meet people from various cultures and places. Also, it allows you to know the place better. I had some really great experiences, and hope to have more.
