ABOUT ME

I am originally from Pakistan. I have a bachelor's degree in Economics from University of Victoria and a masters degree in global management from Royal Roads University. I have worked as a director of finance and operations for the university of Victoria students society and a hospital administrator in Pakistan. I have skills in communication, organizing events, fundraising, Healthcare sector, research, leadership and a curiosity to learn everything.

PHILOSOPHY

Being born in a wealthy family, I have seen the reality of money. It's just an illusion. What lies behind big mansions, is depression, sleeping pills and suucides. True happiness lies in simpler things. I have solo backpacked to 40 countries and cycled 6,500 kms across Canada to raise money for Orphan and abused children. I want to make my existence useful and help ease a little suffering if I could and in the mean time lf I could also laugh a little that would be a bonus. If I were to sum up what motivates me to travel it would be: "perspective."

One of my favorite quotes from Che Guevara is

"There we understood that our vocation, our true vocation, was to move for eternity along the roads and seas of the world"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on here to meet new interesting people from different parts of the world and hopefully make lasting friendships. Plus why not give somebody a place to sleep for exchange in some culture.
