I'm a queer Pakistani living in Berlin. I've traveled and lived in different countries most of my life, though now I am somewhat of a homebody. I love being in nature, around animals, enjoy long walks, good humor, food and meeting people who are self-aware and like to question things. Particularly interested in meeting other QTBIPoCs.

Free Palestine!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to have more authentic experiences when traveling rather than do the usual touristy things, and meeting locals is one way to get a feeling of the place.
