Overview
About Me
Studied in China, living in England, working in the North Sea and travelling the world!
I’m always curious about other places and cultures. Interacting with locals is the best way to get to know a place, that's why I love meeting locals anywhere I travel.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Along with my love of travelling, I've always been interested in meeting people from different cultures, walks of life, history and background from all over the globe. I think CS is a fantastic way to make this happen. I don’t care about nationality, religion or creed . All I care about is having fun and sharing great experiences!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Couldn't pick one and so:
Camped in the highest plains in the world (Deosai plains).
Hiked for 7 hours when lost in the mountains, encountered unexplainable footprints and sounds in the snow next to our tent the next morning (possible poltergeist activity?).
Passed through 4 countries on my 21st Birthday (England-France-Belgium-Holland)
Celebrated my 22nd Birthday in two countries (on the same day of course, hence something amazing!) (Malaysia and Australia)
Played poker in the largest casino in the southern hemisphere (Crowne Casino)
Watched the sun rise from the top of the world's tallest building.
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach: I would love to help people learn about the different cultures of Asia, the languages I know (English/Mandarin/Urdu and a little bit of Russian), how to play the guitar and rubab
Learn: I would love to have conversations about other people's passion and dreams, to learn about different cultures, history and whatever else anyone has to offer.
Share: To share stories about my travels and adventures, how travelling has changed my sense of thinking in general, with some funny and scary moments of my life! And if possible along with playing some music!
