Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am interested to meet new people.One of best parts of my job is getting connected with amazing people who are doing amazing things. Some of them are not well known—but most quietly do the work of making the world better without fame or recognition.Some are tourists who think outside the box to prepare the next generation to succeed in travel around the world. I hope I'll find those people in here.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I already guide travelers in here who are from USA, Poland and India. I've some sweet memories with picture.

Teach, Learn, Share

Last year , I guided Jordan and Holly from USA. After the tour I got feedback from them why should people travel Bangladesh!
Let's share with you,

WHY SHOULD YOU TRAVEL TO BANGLADESH
The People

The number one reason why you should travel to Bangladesh is because of the Bengali people. The people we met and interacted with are what made our trip to Bangladesh so very special. We met countless people who were super curious about us, wanting to buy us tea, take selfies, and take us to their home villages. Experiences like these can make anywhere in the world special.

You become a celebrity!

Selfie, Selfie, selfie! Bangladesh is not the first country we have been to where complete strangers ask us to take a selfie. It is however, the country where it happened the most frequently and the most intensely. We are very giving with our time and have never refused a picture request to date. However there were several times in Bangladesh where, after being swarmed for 20+ minutes by our new-found admirers, we had to consciously vacate the area to salvage our day. The best example of this was when Jordan and I went to the Dhaka Zoo on the weekend (which is Friday and Saturday in Bangladesh). It also happened to be their national Independence Day. It was busy. Surprising to everyone at the zoo that day, including us, were the featured creatures. They were two white tourists, who roamed around the zoo freely. And unlike the uninterested Bengal tigers who placed themselves at the back of their cages making them difficult to see, let alone photograph, these two foreign mammals were up-close and personal. Finding us less hostile and more interactive than the tigers we were quickly swarmed. Our experience at the zoo that day was of us stopping to view a caged animal, then becoming trapped ourselves surrounded by locals with phones in hand, eagerly awaiting their turn for a selfie. If you’ve ever wanted to feel like a celebrity travel to Bangladesh!

While eating dinner at a new restaurant, we were asked to stand in as the models for their photos that would be put on their facebook page and menus. Being asked to be models was a first for us! We were sat at this table with a handsome, well-dressed Bengali man. Jordan and I were placed center frame and the other man was on the side. They took photos of us while we “candidly” conversed and ate the yummy food.

* Weeks Later we were watching TV and we saw the man we modeled with in a TV show! The restaurant had hired a local model for this shoot, but he ended up playing support role while sharing the stage with us! We felt completely innadeqate stealing some of his lime light.

No price extortion for tourists (Wahoo!!)

While in Bangladesh we did not have one person try to overcharge us or scam us. Also the tourist attractions didn’t have the extreme price discrimination we have see most other countries (mostly in Indonesia and India)

Traveling as long as we have, we’ve been trained to be suspicious of anyone who is overly kind or generous upon first encounter. Our experience has taught us that it usually ends with a request for money or business patronage. That temperament has generally served us well, except on day one in Bangladesh when coupled with a language barrier, we had an encounter we would be embarrassed about and regret weeks later after we discovered what actually happened.

To learn

We learned a lot during our one month in Bangladesh. We learned about Islam, arranged marriages, history, poverty, cricket, textile manufacturing, and aquaculture. People always say that they travel to India to learn and experience rather than to relax. Bangladesh is a similar stye of travel, but perhaps even more extreme. Keeping your eyes and ears open you a sure to leave Bangladesh with new understanding.

To be humbled

I was greatly humbled in Bangladesh. I witnessed more poverty than I have ever seen before in my life, and I received so much kindness from people who barely knew me. Bangladesh opened up my eyes, and being there helped me realize how very blessed my life is. While in Bangladesh I wrote this article detailing things I never knew I was grateful for.

Now, I (Abdal Ahmed ) would like to add that I can share with you our Bengali custom,culture variety and beautiful places.
