Hello, Mohammed here. I am a student from New York. I was born in Bangladesh but moved to America and was raised here, so I am Bangladeshi-American.

I enjoy studying and reading about different parts of the world. I just got back from a trip from Central Asia where I battled the -30C degrees weather, toured the architecture and nature of Turkestan, and shared my journey with some great companions!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Through couchsurfing, I think I have been able to bridge our differences beyond geography and nationality.

Interests

I enjoy reading history and culture related books. I also like learning langauges, I have made it a habit to learn at least 2-3 phrases of a local language when I am visiting the area.
