I’m Uttam Singh, a travel and lifestyle vlogger from India who believes that the best stories are found off the beaten path — in local streets, shared meals, and real human connections.

I run a YouTube channel called "Uttam Singh Vlogs", where I document my travel adventures, local food experiences, and cultural encounters . My goal is to inspire others to travel more meaningfully and prove that you don’t need a lot of money to explore the world — just curiosity, courage, and kindness.

As of now, I’ve traveled to India, Nepal, Dubai (UAE), and Pakistan, and I’m excited to continue my journey through Southeast Asia. I love meeting locals, learning their stories, and seeing life through their eyes. I always choose authenticity over luxury, conversations over checklists, and local homes over fancy hotels.

I’m friendly, respectful, non-smoker, tidy, and always happy to help — whether it's cooking a simple Indian meal, sharing travel stories, or exchanging cultures.

For me, Couchsurfing isn’t just about a place to stay — it’s about meaningful connections and cultural exchange.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I believe travel is not just about places — it’s about people. Staying with locals allows me to experience a place through its culture, daily life, and real stories, which no hotel or guidebook can offer.

As a budget traveler and vlogger, I love sharing these authentic experiences on my YouTube channel “Uttam Singh Vlogs” to show others that meaningful travel doesn’t require luxury — just connection.

Couchsurfing gives me the chance to meet open-minded people, learn from them, exchange cultures, and hopefully leave with new friendships around the world.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

One of the most unforgettable experiences I’ve had was when I became the first Bihari to travel to Pakistan. I explored the rich history and culture of Lahore, visited the Krishna Temple. I also took a Rangeela rickshaw ride through the lively streets of Lahore and had the chance to explore Saidpur Village, a 500+ year-old village.

During my time in Pakistan, I also visited Katas Raj Temple, a sacred Hindu pilgrimage site, and several Gurudwaras. It was a powerful experience to see people from different faiths — Hindus and Sikhs — coming together in prayer, sharing the same sacred space. This journey was not just a personal milestone but also a bridge between cultures, and I documented it all on my YouTube channel, "Uttam Singh Vlogs".
