About Me

In Heidelberg for my master's after 10 years in the newspaper industry. Easygoing, outspoken, love travelling and seeing new places. Employed for the sake of money otherwise love to be outdoors all the time. Life's too short not to be enjoyed. Live and let live!
You only live once so live a life you will remember.
Feel free to message me, I will most probably be able to host you...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Free for all. Can help anyone when I'm free. I don't think I'm as active here as I should be. But nevertheless I try to check my messages regularly. If you want an immediate connection, there's always Facebook ☺
I have stayed and traveled with all kinds of people, couchsurfing, Airbnb, blablacar...all are great initiatives for travellers! My CS experiences are however few. Went to a few weekly meetings in Amsterdam and New York, clubbed all night with local CSers

Music, Movies, and Books

Whatever touches the heart and ramps up the mood. Electronic music transcends boundaries 😆

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Everything is amazing when one is traveling. A night at Prague castle was awesome. Donauinselfest in Vienna was rad. Holi festival in Amsterdam was amazing. Partying with NYFW models was out of this fucking world!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

New in Heidelberg but I know the best places to hang out ;) I have travelled extensively in Pakistan so I can share a lot of information. I have worked in the media so I'm a bit privileged to have contacts to go anywhere.
I'm open to everything and love to try new things and anything at least once so there are no boundaries. I'm a pretty rad cook on campfires and love to share the delicacies 😊

What I Can Share with Hosts
