I'm a recent graduate from the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) in, hmm, Lahore :-P
I've studied History in specific and humanities in general. Really passionate about travelling which has mostly been confined to within Pakistan. I've traveled everywhere within Pakistan from Balochistan (on the border with Iran) to the Northern Areas (on the border with China). I love trekking. I love being on a bus for extended amount of time. And I love a good book - theoretical humanities books are a special weakness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hmm, to meet new people and to hopefully, host people who are travelling to Lahore.
