Hello everyone! 🙏
I'm Suraj Modanwal from the holy city of Varanasi, India – the land of spirituality, ghats, and Ganga aarti.

I run a paint and hardware store, and also work in borewell and plumbing services. I'm married and live with my family. I'm a simple person who loves meeting new people, learning about different cultures, and sharing life stories.

Although I'm new to Couchsurfing, I believe in **“Atithi Devo Bhava”** – meaning "Guests are like God".
I can show you around Varanasi, help you try street food, visit ghats and temples, and give you a true local experience.

In free time, I enjoy listening to music, watching documentaries, traveling, and improving my English through conversations.

Looking forward to making new friends across the world! 😊

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing to connect with travelers from all over the world, share my culture, and learn about theirs.
I believe we all grow when we meet people from different backgrounds. I want to host guests, exchange ideas, and improve my communication and language skills.

Also, I'd love to show travelers the beauty and spirituality of Varanasi from a local’s point of view.

Let’s share stories, food, and friendship!
