Overview
About Me
2022 is a big year for me. I decided to put everything on hold and started travelling.
I have been travelling around the world for the past two years. There are no photos and words that could really describe it. It's definitely an adventure in a lifetime.
I was an active member in Ottawa, Canada Couch Surfing community, attended regular meetings there.
The time I really started couch surfing was last year when I visited Bangladesh. It really opened up my travel horizon. The hospitality of Bangladeshi deeply touches my heart. Now I try to couchsurf when possible.
I'm travelling to meet people, to learn cultures, and to see the real life behind touristy scenes. This is what travelling is about for me. I saw many stunning views in the past, but in the end, the most memorable experiences were with people.
After being on the road for a while, i gradually shifted from a tourist to a traveller: trying street food, striking conversations with locals, tasting authentic homemade cuisine, exploring local transportation, and meeting like minded travellers and hosts. CouchSurfing is a perfec platform. The way I look at couch surfing is not just a place to stay free, it's more of a way to experience genuine, authentic local cultures and life. I'm a believer in the equality of give and take.
I prefer to visit less popular places, travel like a local.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Why am I on the couch surfing? To meet like minded travellers and hosts, to create great memories together. I believe there are many wonderful people on this planet. I'm counting on each and every couch surfing.

Another of my passion is cooking. I look forward to sharing some of my recipes and also picking up a few of yours.
