About me
Dancer at heart, researcher by profession, and traveller whenever I get the chance. I love good food (making and eating), spontaneous plans, long walks in new cities, music that makes me move, and a little bit of chaos in between. Also veryyyyyy likely to stop mid-conversation to pet a random animal.

About me
My name is Akansha, which means dreams — and honestly, I think my name chose me. I’ve always been someone who dreams big. I want to experience life, achieve things I once thought were impossible, and most importantly, see the world. I want to travel to every corner of it, collect stories, meet people, experience cultures, and I know that someday, I will. But dreaming wasn’t always easy. I come from a Gurjar family, where girls traditionally aren’t encouraged to step out, work, or travel independently. There were boundaries, expectations, and a very different idea of what a girl’s life should look like. But I’ve never been very good at accepting a life that doesn’t feel like mine. I fought with my parents. I had difficult conversations. I took risks. And eventually, I started working, travelling, exploring, and building a life beyond the boundaries I had grown up with. Every trip became more than just a destination. It became proof that I could choose my own path. I’m still dreaming. Still figuring things out. Still fighting some battles. But now, I know one thing for sure — I was named Akansha for a reason. I am made of dreams. And I’m going to chase every single one of them. 🌍✨

About me
Hi this is Jimi. I have been studied fine art for 7 years in Japan•Tokyo (BA+MA) . I am working as an art teacher in Shanghai. I am passionate about to do something could interact with more people during my journey so I started using Couchsurfing and this platform :) I enjoy reading, writing, watching cinemas, baking and researching various recipes in my daily life. During my travels, I often love to exploring new places, local culture and folklores. I consider learning new techniques and languages as my life project. I am also super fond of outdoors like trekking! Hope to make new friends and memories during my journey. Deep connections rather than small talks ;) btw queer friendly here! not a party person most of the time

About me
Hey, I’m Beyza. I’m 19, obsessed with traveling, and currently on a mission: 19 countries before I turn 20. I’m spending my gap year exploring the world while collecting ideas for my future social enterprise. Yes, I travel like I’m running a field research project. In September 2026, I’m planning to start university in either Italy or the US. I love meeting new people, spontaneous plans, getting lost (and then pretending it was part of the plan), and analyzing every city like a case study. Ig: Wispybeyza

Can host for:
5 days
About me
I’m an ex-corporate girlie turned full-time traveler, now rooted in Pune, Maharashtra—with my heart still in my hometown, Jaipur, Rajasthan. I’m deeply passionate about food—whether it’s cooking up a comforting home-style meal or discovering hidden local gems. I love cooking sharing the rich flavors of Indian cuisine, especially Maharashtrian, Rajasthani, and North Indian dishes. I host women for free because I believe travel in India should feel joyful, safe, and soul-nourishing. My home with three cats and two guitars —a cozy, welcoming space where you can truly experience culture, connection, and comfort

I love nature, fresh fruits, laughter, dancing, spontaneous adventures and the kind of company where silence feels as good as a joke. A little wild, a little quiet. Curious and trusting the life, open to the unexpected and always happy to follow where the moment leads ✨

About me
I'm a simple soul and love travelling. I run a small hostel here and do not mind hosting anyone. I want my place to be a safe place for women to come and feel at home as that's something I feel strongly about in the travelling community.
Speaking
Stay with locals
Stay with local women to see how they live, listen their stories, learn about their culture and have a unique travel experience.
Is Asia safe for female travelers?
Solo travel
I spent a solitary 4.5 months traveling around Southeast Asia and visited Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Bali, and I enjoyed them all. I would definitely recommend Cambodia. Especially the Koh Rong islands - they are geographically close to the popular Thai islands, but they are much less spoiled and amazing thanks to sections of white beaches and crystal blue ocean!
