I'm an Australian-Bangladeshi journalist and final year law student currently working for an Australian public broadcasting network. Avid traveller, back home in Sydney for now.

I live in an inner-city suburb of Sydney in a house with three friends, we all have pretty busy schedules and work around the country so we can’t host currently but I’m hoping to change that soon!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am after creating authentic connections in the areas I travel to and learning about them from someone local. The best parts about talking about the places I've been are always the people so I'm trying out couchsurfing to make friends. As well as go in directions I wouldn't have explored otherwise.

How I participate in Couchsurfing: Since you're providing me free accomodation and your time, I will help out where I can I.e cleaning, costs of food, wine! I'm not on here to freeload and I'll generally gouge your expectations when I stay with you so there's no issues.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

maybe being a delegate at the United Nations in New York for the US Human Rights Network in 2016 or that time I starred in the 70s polo flashback scene of a Bollywood film while on holiday in Udaipur. It's a close call.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think everyone has value and something to offer so it'll be a mutual sharing experience. I can teach you about my experiences and education and I'd love to learn vice versa

What I Can Share with Hosts

Many laughs and I'll shout you a gig or a meal whenever we're both free.
