I'm a business school professor by trade and a true traveler at heart. I have traveled to over 50 countries. I love exploring off-the-beaten-path destinations, uncovering history, and immersing myself in local cultures. Born in Bangladesh, my life’s journey has taken me to live in India, Thailand, Germany, and the US, with significant time spent in China, Norway, Iceland, and several Latin American countries. I've been hitched to an awesome Icelander for more than 25 years and am the proud dad of two amazing grown sons! These days, my Spanish is better than my Norwegian—¡Olé!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, the heart of travel lies in learning about a place’s culture and history through the voices and lived experiences of its people. Love to meet new people.
