I'm a software engineer who moved to Warsaw 3 years ago from Pakistan. I'm an ambivert learning many things through living on my own now. I'm a Muslim and I respect everyone's right to follow their faith and opinions. I like to talk about various topics spanning life, philosophy, books, travel, movies etc. I always try to be a girl's girl and opt for meaningful friendships ✨♥️

I'm a bit shy in the beginning but once I'm comfortable with my friends, I will always have your back. If you've had strict parents, we would get along really well haha 😅

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking for friends with whom I can talk about life and share meaningful connections. I like to learn about new things and life experiences. I wanna know what's your favourite quote, how do you see life and what lessons can you share with me :)

Interests

Where do I start? Growing up in a south Asian family who wouldn't let me go outside much, I ended up inhaling all the content there is in Bollywood and Hollywood. I've seen everything on Netflix ( multiple times). Also, I can quote everything from Seinfeld and the office.

I like to go on walks or have tea with my friends so we can have all those deep talks. I'm a skincare girlie and if I'm going on a trip with you, I'm the girl who brings EVERYTHING extra so you don't have to. If you're okay staying in and watch something together, we're already best friends.

I like to mentor/teach students in my free time and I'm pretty active in the software development communities of Pakistan. I love to share the things I've learned in my corporate experience so far, so if you're someone who'd like to complain about the corporate world, sign me up 😄

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've mentored 500+ people in a 1/1 session, and have given dozens of online group sessions. All in all, I have a total following of 165K+ people who have listened to me sharing my tech experiences/knowledge.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to teach/mentor students across developing countries and help them make clearer/better career decisions.

Pakistan is full of talented people and I'm trying to represent it on a global scale. I sometimes also make tech related videos. You can check my YouTube and Instagram for that (not asking for subscribing lol).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can show you around or we can have a meal together. I'd love to just talk and get to know better.

I can also prepare a meal for both of us ( I will confirm this to you in advance). You don't need to worry about skincare, I've got you covered.

Please let me know in advance if you have any skin or dietary allergies.

What I cannot offer:
I would appreciate it if you can bring your towel. Thanks!
