The Golden Rule (Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself).

Been part of Couch Surfing for over 11 years and have had the honour of hosting many people In Pakistan and Japan. Currently residing in UK for foreseeable future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There was a time when I could not travel internationally, and CS guests were my connection to the outside world. Meeting people from Europe, US, South East Asia and so on helped me broaden my horizon, find inspiring friends and overall helped me being a good human being.
