Hi! My name is Kazim and I'm 20 years old, born and raised in London, United Kingdom. I'm currently at University where I'm studying Environmental Hazards and Disaster Management. I love planes, penguins and coffee.
I have a keen interest in languages and cultures as well as a burning passion to explore and visit every corner of the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think having local experience is the best way to get a real, raw feel of a place which you would never get if you were staying at a fancy hotel far, far away from the real stuff.

Interests

I can cook and bake- you name it, I'm pretty certain I can make it.

I'm a massive plane nerd and spend a lot of my time flying on a flight simulator- guess you can say I can fly :P

I love languages and can speak three languages [English, Hindi and Urdu] and learning three more [Swedish, Arabic and Turkish].

Music choices are a bit different to most people, love listening to Arabic and Turkish music, do love the occasional English song too.

As for food, I'm a massive foodie, love eating and trying new cuisines. Always in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes. I'm not a fussy eater, I'm willing to try it all. Though Middle Eastern and Far East Asian cuisines are my favourite.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach - my cooking and baking skills, Hindi and Urdu (even English!).
Learn - about your culture, language, the way you do things (like cooking!).
Share - life experiences, stories...and food!
