I grew up in a small coastal city in Bangladesh which is the most amazing place I always prefer to stay. I have travelled most of the coastal villages during my study time and working time in an NGO. Later in 2009, I decided to continue my study in a multicultural environment, I moved to Germany, travelled and stayed many European cities. I moved to Sydney in 2012 and love Australia. I love nature and water.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Encounter as many people and cultures as I can, acquire and share stories along the way and explore new places. Someone suggest me to join in 2009 but since then never tried it. But recently come up with nice stories from some of my friends and now look forward to have some experience. Its keep continuing...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to swim, though its not a big deal but there is a hard story behind it. I was about to die twice and some people save me and taught me how to swim. I always experience difficult transition though out my life and I would like to share those stories.

I know fishing but never catch a big fish. I know little bit about boating but would love to learn more.

I am very lazy in writing, would love to get some tips and motivation.

Learning to fly drone and horse 🐎 riding. Tips welcome.
