I am a journalist working in a national English newspaper named "The Independent" in Dhaka. I also cover Bangladesh for a number of international outlets including Al Jazeera, Asia Times, The Wire, Nikkei Asian Review, News Deeply, Scroll.in, The Diplomat and Fintech. I love to read books and to play board games. I also love cooking and traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to host new guests in my house and treat them with my home cooked meal. I also love to play board games and have a good collection so I hope the guest I am going to host will play with me.
