I travel slowly and prefer understanding a place over just seeing it. I enjoy walks, shared meals and conversations that flow naturally... light or serious both are fine. My background is academic, but I care more about lived experience than big ideas. I’m calm, observant, and respectful of people’s space and routines.
One small thing about me: I like walking cities and enjoy food. It tells you more about a place than guidebooks do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people beyond hotels and tourist routes.
To listen, learn, exchange stories and share time in a simple way.
Im here because meaningful encounters shape how we see the world and ourselves.

Interests

Culture, society, cities, and everyday life
Books, ideas, and personal journeys
Food walks, night walks, and quiet cafés
Listening more than talking (but I can talk if it flows 😉)
I enjoy depth, but I don’t force it. Things should feel natural.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My first international trip was planned for 10 days but due to COVID-19 I ended up staying 110 days. It taught me patience, adaptability and how to feel at home in unfamiliar places.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach:
1. How to observe a place beyond tourist spots
2. Having thoughtful, respectful conversations
3. Basic planning for slow and meaningful travel
4. Food and its history
5. Urdu Language and its literary depth.

I want to learn:
- How locals experience their city or town
- Everyday routines, food habits, and customs
- Stories people don’t usually tell visitors
- Individual's philosophy or thoughts

I can share:
- Time, conversation and good company
- Special meals when possible
- Honest perspectives from different places
- Travel observation and lerning

What I Can Share with Hosts

Time, conversation, food and stay recommendation, planning.
