I'm a Pakistani-American multidisciplinary artist and filmmaker born and raised in Illinois.

I have often traveled for short term contract work to other states, and want to now make more trips and international travels.

I'm fairly new to couch surfing but have loved going to the events and meeting fellow traveller's, learning about the trips they have made and inspiring me to plan some more of my own.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, learn about different countries/ people's travels, plan some more trips of my own, and make some travel friends
