Hey, I’m Vipul an architect, world traveler, and miniature artist obsessed with the tiny details that shape our big world. 🗺️ 🇬🇧

By day, I design spaces. By passion, I carve microscopic sculptures on pencil leads (yes, actual graphite tips, I promise it’s cooler than it sounds).

You can catch glimpses of my work on Instagram: @vipulgupta.14

I’ve conducted creative workshops, exhibited across India and London, and even collaborated with NASA India but honestly, what excites me most is connecting with new people, learning about different ways of living, and geeking out over architecture and street food in every new city I visit.

My friends call me curious, calm, and a bit of an old soul with a childlike sense of wonder. Whether it's wandering through an old neighborhood, sketching what I see, or staying up late for deep chats over chai, I’m in.

I love queer-friendly, artistic spaces and often find myself in LGBTQ+ art events, underground gigs, or just a quiet gallery corner. 🏳️‍🌈

Let’s share stories, build new memories, and maybe even doodle a map of our shared journey

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, I figured sleeping on a stranger’s couch beats awkwardly making small talk with my own furniture at home. Plus, hotels don’t usually come with stories — but Couchsurfing couches? They come with legends, local secrets, and sometimes even mysterious leftover snacks.

Also, my wallet whispered, “Please stop booking overpriced Airbnbs.” So here I am, embracing the true adventure: crashing in random homes, meeting people who might just become lifelong friends, and learning how many times I can accidentally set off a dog’s bark alarm before being politely asked to leave.

And honestly, my cheap thrill? Peeking out from rooftops, rooftops, and yep — even couches, because life’s better when you’re not just traveling but really living the story. So, guess what — I’m on Couchsurfing to pee from the heights of human kindness, hospitality, and yes, sometimes the bathroom too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My guilty travel thrill?

Peeing from epic heights. 😄 Rooftops, cliffs, mountain trails, if there’s a view, I’ve probably relieved myself there. Let’s just say… my bladder has seen better panoramas than most tour guides.

Oh also, recently I took participation in World Naked Bike Ride In London!! Damn!! Can't express that adventurous experience, lets me share that once we meet ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I travel like a sponge with a sketchbook soaking up stories, stealing (with love) from cultures, and sharing them back through art, conversations, and badly cooked versions of local dishes.

Whether it’s a carving technique I picked up in a village, a phrase in a new language, or a story from a stranger, I believe everything we "leach" becomes part of the weird and wonderful version of ourselves we carry forward.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’ll bring life to your space with my architect’s eye and artistic inclinations. I’d love to teach you the delicate art of detailing through my miniature pencil lead carvings — it’s like tiny magic in graphite! Alongside, I’ve got a bunch of cool stories from my travels and work to share.

And of course, I’ll cook with you and offer you the best chai you’ve ever had — because every good conversation deserves a great cup of tea.
