Hello!

We are Manuel and Patricia, and we are excited to be traveling to Northern India soon! Manuel is a university professor and researcher in sociology, passionate about learning, reading, and exchanging ideas with people from different backgrounds. He loves deep conversations about culture, society, and history and enjoys hearing personal stories that offer new perspectives. Patricia works in food safety and quality and is truly passionate about gastronomy. She’s always eager to try new flavors, learn about traditional cooking methods, and share her own experiences. She’s super cheerful, friendly, and always laughing, bringing positive energy wherever we go.

We have always been fascinated by India—its rich history, deep-rooted traditions, warm hospitality, and incredible diversity. More than just exploring famous landmarks, we truly appreciate the chance to experience everyday life, learn from different perspectives, and immerse ourselves in local culture. From sharing conversations over a cup of chai to discovering hidden gems that only locals know, we love meaningful exchanges that go beyond tourism.

As guests, we are respectful, open-minded, and eager to learn. We value the customs and traditions of every place we visit and believe in treating our hosts with gratitude and kindness. Whether it’s trying home-cooked food, learning a few words in a local language, or understanding the deeper aspects of Indian culture, we embrace every experience wholeheartedly.

If you enjoy cultural exchange and are open to hosting travelers who appreciate India with genuine curiosity and respect, we would love to connect and share stories, experiences, and new friendships along the way!
