Made my account on 8th November 2021. I am basically from Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh and currently in Salt Lake Kolkata, India since 2025. Have lived in New Delhi for 7-8 years for my Higher Studies and then in Chhattisgarh for my research related work for 5-6 years.
Willing to explore new places and meet people. I am usually quite open-minded and ready to have new experiences. I have been on a week-long trek thrice in my life and continue to look for more ahead. Other than that I have traveled to Shimla, Spiti Valley, Rampur, Mussoorie, Jaipur, Jaisalmer, Rann of Kutch, Bhuj, Diu, Puri, Mohali, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Puri, Kolkata, etc in the past 7-8 years.

Past 2 years travel updates:
During new year 2023, I went to two wonderful cities Hanoi and Quy-Nhon in Vietnam for a 10-day trip. The country is beautiful and full of helpful people.
Then I went for a week long trip during the Holi festival season of 2023 to North Eastern India specifically covering the Shillong, Cherrapunji & Dawki region.
In 2024, I went to Prayagraj for a 10 day trip during Holi season. The place where I stayed was quite close to sangam and hence it was really peaceful there. The cooks at the guest house where I stayed served us really delicious north Indian food. One must try local street food in Prayagraj.
During May 2024, I went to Bangkok for a week long trip. The city was amazing and the people there are really hospitable and helpful. I recommend people to stay in a hostel instead of a hotel for the best experience, as you will get a chance to meet amazing fellow travellers like you.
During July 2024, I went to Europe to present my research work in a conference but stretched my stay for around 15 days to visit Italy and neighbouring countries. It was a beautiful experience culturally and also I made a lot of new friends during those days. Couch surfing helped me to meet fellow travellers there. I have uploaded photos from this trip in my photo gallery here. Late in 2024, I went to a week long trip to explore central region of India with my parents including Chhattisgarh and Odisha. It was a memorable trip. Loved the local cuisines in both these states and also met a lot of helpful and humble people. Highly recommended to everyone to go on a trip to puri once. The overall vibe of that city gives you immense peace. 2025 till now has not been very eventful in terms of travel for me. Shifted to a new city, kolkata during the mid of the year. Will update here my Kolkata experiences once I start going out and explore the city.

P.S.- I love to meet people online or on my trips and am always eager to listen to their experiences, their life goals, philosophical viewpoints. Local cuisines and dance forms always interest me.
Will continue to add more here. You may see my travel photos in my profile. Thank You for visiting :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of my friends suggested it to me... it’s in the very early stages in my country when it comes to reaching out to people, but I feel that the concept is cool and innovative.
