Hi, I’m Himanshu from India 🇮🇳. By profession I’m a chef/cook, and I love exploring new cuisines and cultures. Traveling for me is not just about visiting places, but about meeting people, learning their stories, and sharing mine.

I’m an open-minded, respectful, and friendly person. I enjoy cooking (especially Indian food), music, nature walks, and discovering local traditions wherever I go.

I joined Couchsurfing because I believe travel is more meaningful when we connect with locals instead of just being tourists.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

"I joined Couchsurfing because I believe traveling is not only about seeing new places but also about meeting people, learning their culture, and sharing mine. For me, it’s about making friends around the world, exchanging stories, and experiencing life like a local instead of just being a tourist. I love the idea of cultural exchange and building connections that last beyond the trip."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
