Thrill of adventure guides my soul. Though I work a 10am to "only God knows when it ends" kind of job but the passion of going to new places always keeps me alive and searching for new destinations. I try and do backpacking as much as possible which has its own adventure and also saves on expenditure. I am a blunt yet happy going guy and I've become friends with most of the people that I've traveled with. Dramatics is also one of my passions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm an avid traveler and so far I was dependent on local hostels and sometimes locals for getting my accommodation. This sometimes consumes a lot of time and I've felt monetarily exploited at times but due to dearth of options had to make peace with whatever, in desperate situations. This has made me sympathetic to the fact that there'll be thousands like me who might've been suffering in their travels because of same issues.

Recently, I got to know from a friend about couchsurfing. This is a great platform to help each other especially by providing a very genuine local touch and experience. Hence, joining this platform was the most logical step for me so that travel in general can have a better experience. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've backpacked across Europe from France to Italy covering most of the countries on the East. This was the time when this horrific Paris terrorist attack on Bataclan had taken place. I was mostly discouraged by co-workers in UK to skip my plans but nonetheless with full faith in humanity I decided to go ahead with my plans. I was afraid that I might be harassed because of my religion at several places but things turned out to be quite the opposite. Most of the people I met with welcomed me with open hands and hailed my courage. They even requested me to encourage more people that I knew to come and visit their beautiful city and not to get deterred by Islamophobic media. By far this was my best experience across all travels that I've undertaken so far.

Teach, Learn, Share

I write, recite and act. Though not very good but I can definitely teach you few things about dramatics if you are a newbie. I'm also well versed with history of a few nearby countries. I'm also a good listener and would love to listen to your many interesting stories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A conducive environment for overall enjoyment and localized experience from local curries to comfy couches to less traveled nearby places.
