I am a Bangladeshi living in New York, NY, US. I studied at Colgate University, and have lived in West Bengal, India, Montpellier, France and Geneva, Switzerland

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people. I believe that one gets the most out of traveling when one is put in a completely situation. Discovering new places, meeting new people and making new lifelong connections is part of that.

Some of my friends have tried Couchsurfing and said that it made their experiences that much better. I want to meet people who actually live in the places I'm going to and get an insight into what life for them is like.

Interests

I am interested in anything and everything. My interests are health and fitness, Manchester United, weightlifting, yoga, technology, etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

Trance all the way, although leaning towards tropical house for the last few months.
EDIT: Back to Trance, Armin is God. I listen to progressive, but also psytrance

I don't really have any favorite movies, but I guess In Bruges would be my current top. I really like the Marvel Universe

I've recently started reading science fiction, and am not sure where it will take me. Do androids dream of electric sheep is great.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed a waterfall, although I slipped and almost fell from the summit. Yikes!
