CURRENT MISSION

To live life to the fullest before the grown up world attacks my vacation time.

ABOUT ME

I am a contemplative person who is social and loves to meet new people. I love to question things and often play devil's advocate. I love to go out on spontaneous adventures. I don't plan life too much but find the future overwhelming (and it looks pretty grey to be honest). I love to talk to people from different walks of life and think that couchsurfing will widen my friends network (plus, I'm no millionaire and it is good to crash for free while meeting new people).

PHILOSOPHY

I am a muslim but of a very progressive sort and accept the 'live and let live' and 'if it doesn't hurt you it is none of your business' mottos. Nevertheless, I consider myself a light skeptic and find talking to people about their opinions to be very revealing. I also feel that I am relatively privileged and hope to be a philanthropist one day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope to open up my experiences to others and share whatever my young life has thus far revealed to me. I think that being of Pakistani background, I will be able to cast a better light on our image.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Looking forward to my first time.

Interests

I love to watch TV shows like The Office and South Park. Other than that I like to read philosophical stuff ranging from Plato to Rumi to Russel. I also like to get have beer with friends and just sit around and talk or go around doing stuff. Oh and I LOVE traveling and I wish I could do it all the time (I absolutely envy travel show hosts).

Music, Movies, and Books

I like pop, rap, independent, teeny-bopper stuff, international music, and classical music. Really all kinds so long as it has no screaming or what a reasonable person would consider to be noise. www.audioscrobbler.com/user/ammad537.
I frankly don't get too much time to read w/e but I like thrillers, mystical poetry, history books, and philosophy books.
I like very different kinds of movies: thrillers, drama, comedy, documentaries, romantic stuff, and foreign films

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been to the highest road in the world (Khunjerab Pass between China and Pakistan).

Teach, Learn, Share

I am actually an Urdu Teaching Asst. for the University and so some Urdu conversation could be taught. I also have done quite a bit of work in metaphysics (a deep branch of philosophy for the uninitiated). Riding a bike (that is so a skill...)
