Hi, I’m Hanif Ahsan – a proud Peshawarite with a global spirit!

After spending four memorable years serving in Islamabad, I’ve recently been transferred back to my hometown, Peshawar – a city that holds my heart and heritage. While I may not have a space to host travelers, I’m always open to meeting up, sharing stories, and exploring the world through meaningful cultural exchange.

Peshawar, one of the oldest living cities in South Asia, is known for its rich history, warm hospitality, and irresistible street food. Whether it's a walk through the Qissa Khwani Bazaar, a taste of spicy chapli kebab, or a visit to the iconic Bala Hisar Fort – I love showing the soul of my city to anyone curious enough to explore it.

During weekends, you’ll often find me wandering the streets of Peshawar, reconnecting with its timeless charm, meeting friends, or hunting down the best local chai spots. I'm passionate about connecting with people from all walks of life – locals or travelers – and exchanging ideas, culture, and kindness.

I’m also a Google Local Guide (Level 8) with a strong presence on Google Maps. I regularly review places, add photos, and help people discover hidden gems in Pakistan. You can explore my contributions here:

If you're passing through Peshawar or nearby and want to meet a friendly local, I'm just a message away! Let’s chat over a cup of tea, discover new places, and build memories that transcend borders.
