Hello! I am Fariha, a freshman at NYU! I am studying Chemical Engineering and Philosophy. I grew up in Dhaka, Bangladesh, moved to Boston in 2014, and then moved to NYC in 2017 for college. I love living in different places, and traveling. And since I am a college student, I am broke, so I save up as much as I can from my minimum wage job to use towards traveling. I love swimming, hiking and outdoor activities.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting locals and learning about their way of life! I believe in being a traveler and not a tourist, and that's why I am counchsurfing. I am also a college student, so I can't afford hotels haha
