Hello! My name's Monzur and I hail from the lovely country named Bangladesh! I found a passion for traveling and meeting people around the world during my undergraduate days in the United States. After spending some time working back home, I am back again in USA for a professional fellowship (Fulbright).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have made some wonderful friends through the CouchSurfing meetups. I've hosted a bunch of people so far and they were all awesome in different ways! I have also surfed in several countries and they made my trip experience richer and authentic.

Got hosted in Bangkok, hosted him back in Bangladesh then traveled together in Sri Lanka! Couchsurfing is amazing..
