About Me

PLEASE DO NOT REQUEST BEFORE YOU READ OUR PROFILE INCLUDING “MY HOME” SECTION AND WHEN YOU SEND US REQUEST, WRITE SOMETHING TO CONFIRM THAT YOU HAVE READ IT. ANY REQUEST WITHOUT THIS WILL NOT BE RESPONDED.

We live in Ireland and the UK. We also have a family home in Lahore, which we visit from time to time. We welcome couples and female guests to our houses in Cork, Ireland, and Lahore, Pakistan. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate "only male" guests, so please refrain from asking.

We are open-minded and liberal individuals, always respecting others' views and privacy. Originally from Pakistan, we have lived in London, UK, since 2010 and then moved to Ireland in 2017. Our lifestyle is relaxed, with late mornings and late nights. While we may not be big talkers, we are good listeners. :)

In Ireland, we have a country side family house (shown in last picture) which is a 20-25 minute drive away from Cork City Centre, Train & Bus Stations, 15 minutes away from Cork Airport and 10 minutes away from Kinsale Town. If you can't find accommodation in Cork or Kinsale, you're welcome to stay with us for a few days. We can usually pick you up from Cork or Kinsale, so feel free to ask. Please note that the nearest bus stop (Belgooly - Bus 226) is almost 1 KM away So, you either need to walk 7-8 minutes, or we have to pick/drop you if possible, so once again please only request to stay with us if you can’t find another host in or around the town.

In Pakistan, We have a family house (shown in the second last picture) in Lahore City. It's approximately a 40-minute drive from the Airport and around 25 minutes from Daewoo Bus Terminal. You can use Uber/Careem/InDrive apps to get a Taxi, which costs around $5-6 from the Airport and around $2-3 from Daewoo Bus Station. Sometimes, we can pick you up from there or anywhere in Lahore city, so feel free to ask.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, mainly because we believe that sharing has never made someone poor. Secondly, because we've visited many countries and realized that we can't truly learn about the places and people by only staying in hotels and visiting popular locations. So, we've decided to spend time hanging out with real people everywhere we go next and welcome others coming to Ireland/Pakistan to stay with us.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Met amazing people from different worlds 🙃

What I Can Share with Hosts

We mainly use CS as hosts, not as guests. With our guests, we are happy to talk about our homeland Pakistan, our experience living in London, UK, and Ireland. If possible, we may drive you to nearby places in and around the city.

On the other hand, if you're just looking for a place to sleep, you can just say hi on arrival and bye when you leave. We are absolutely okay with that; you don't have to force yourself to pretend to be social!
