About Me

Hi, I’m Vaishnav. I’m a student and a travel enthusiast who loves slow travel—walking cities, taking photographs, listening to people’s stories, and understanding places beyond tourist checklists.
I’m deeply interested in culture, languages, and everyday life, and I usually travel with a camera and a lot of curiosity. For me, travel is less about destinations and more about connections.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I prefer staying with locals rather than hotels because it allows me to experience a place as it truly is.
As a student and budget traveller, Couchsurfing lets me learn directly from people who live there—their routines, food, perspectives, and stories. That kind of knowledge is incomparable and stays with you long after the trip ends.

Music, Movies, and Books

My taste in music ranges from EDM and pop to classical and instrumental fusion. I’m drawn to songs that have depth and emotion, and I often revisit tracks from Malayalam cinema.
I enjoy sci-fi, romantic, and action films, with Kumbalangi Nights standing out for its quiet honesty and strong sense of atmosphere. While travelling, I like reading stories that explore people, places, and identity.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

don’t believe amazing experiences have to be loud or extreme. I value quiet learning—listening to people, understanding cultures, and spending time in places that are often overlooked.
My documentary work on language and community life has led me to unfamiliar journeys and conversations that continue to shape how I understand the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love languages because they connect people in the most human way. I enjoy learning new languages and understanding how words carry culture, emotion, and history.
I’m always happy to learn from others and share what I know—whether it’s about storytelling, photography, or life experiences.

What I Can Share with Hosts

• Meaningful conversations and life experiences
• Photography—portraits, travel photos, or teaching basics if you’re interested
• Respect, curiosity, and genuine cultural exchange
