I’m Ankit from India (Palampur, Himachal Pradesh) , a curious traveler, tech enthusiast, and someone who loves learning from real people and local cultures.

I enjoy exploring how cities work: public transport, infrastructure, food systems, and everyday life. I’m equally happy having deep conversations over tea, walking through neighborhoods, or just observing daily routines in a new place.

I believe travel is not about ticking landmarks, but about understanding perspectives. I’m respectful, clean, open-minded, and always grateful to people who share their space or stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing to meet people beyond guidebooks.

I love learning how locals live, what they care about, and how their city feels from the inside. I enjoy cultural exchange, shared meals, conversations, and experiences that don’t come from hotels.

Even if hosting isn’t possible, I’m always happy to meet for a coffee, walk, or conversation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
