Hi everyone! I teach in middle school and I love it, my students are my siblings, friends and teachers! I paint when inspired and love trying out new things. I'm passionate about different cultures and perspectives. I'm not much of a talker but will go over board if encouraged just a tad! I'm messy but clean, love my two cats and a quiet stroll in the moonlight.

I love cooking and love giving and taking recipes, cooking together. I am always enthusiastic about sharing my culture, music and even literature. In Bangladesh, I can show people around the city, give a good idea about taxi fare, safety and great places to eat local and international food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I added myself on Couch surfing a while back but have been absolutely inactive till now and I want to be fully part of this network. I love the idea of traveling. I say 'idea' because even though i have traveled a bit, it has never been alone with the schedule I would like to have. I'm starting to save and would love to accomplish this dream and couch surfing would help me with that. On the other hand I have always hosted so many of my friends from home and abroad at my place, and my family has always been so welcoming to them all, that it simply makes sense to be part of this network.
