Hey guys! I'm Ahmad and here's a bit about me!

Big into my music and art...taught myself to play bass guitar a few years ago, and I also sing and make music. I'm currently reading for a degree in History at the University of York, and spend my spare time watching copious amounts of Netflix and drinking cups of well brewed tea. Oh, and rocking out at gigs 8-)

I love travelling and experiencing new things and cultures. I've done everything from backpacking through Germany, to skiing in Italy, and scuba diving in Tunisia and my current plan is to climb Kilimanjaro next year for charity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people from all over the place and to share the wonders of my life and where I live with them
