I live in Mingora city, the heart of Swat Valley.

I'd describe myself as fun, confident, tolerant, generous, understanding, light hearted, and very motivated.

I enjoy meeting new people and have an optimistic view that at the end of the day we're all far more alike than we often admit. I enjoy participating in communities like CS as every new connection breaks down another barrier in this world. I've been fortunate enough to meet/host people of various nationalities even before "Couchsurfing" started connecting us.

I love travelling, mostly into the mountains/country-side, and meeting travellers is the natural outcome of my passion for travelling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been travelling a lot. It's always fun meeting new people. Being helpful as a host brings great joy. As a surfer you are most likely to get the same favours in return.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some Pashto/Urdu words, I would love to know about different cultures. Travellers' stories/their strange and unexpected experiences interst me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Two bedrooms (one with attached bath) plus (simple) food. I may pick you up from the bus-station on arrival. I may also show you around the small villages that make up the Swat valley depending on my availability/activities.
