Hello hello,
I am Basit. This is my second account since I found reactivating the first one difficult.

I am a Globetrotter, Writer, Translator, Foodie, Bibliophile, Pseudo Poet and Black Tea addict.
I have visited 34 countries more than once and still yearning to get more stamps on my passport.

I went chasing the northern lights in Finland, ate Neapolitan pizza in Milan, walked along the old cobblestonned streets of Talinn, Kaunas and Riga, danced with whirling Darveshs in Istanbul, tried unfamiliar sports from mount biking, camel riding to zip lining.

I have hitchhiked, Couchsurfed, lived on one- meal-a-day plan, traveled on a $5/day budget, was hosted in a farmhouse and fed by homeless people.

I've volunteered in many social service activities during my journey around the world.

Bits and pieces of my journey through books and places are put up on my Instagram and personal blog @basitism.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Isn't it nice to have friends from around the globe to listen to their stories and to share yours ?
