About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am living in Kathmandu for the next 5 month interning at a migrant justice organization. Looking forward to meeting some locals around the valley and if work allows, discovering some of the beauty of Nepal

ABOUT ME

I am a curious, at times shy person. But I usually find it easy to connect with people who like travelling and thus have always had amazing albeit few experiences meeting couch surfers. I love talking about food and these days indoor plants and crocheting are high among my interests. My work with people living with mental health and addictions in Vancouver's poorest neighbourhood is highly engaging and I love learning how other cities in the world tackle the issue of placing the marginalized.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My bicycle ride up very steep hills to the Todra gorge in Morocco was an incredible experience as was maneuvering through the winding maze that is the old city in Fez.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love a lesson or discussion about any languages you speak or arts you practice. I am deeply engaged in my work in Vancouver's impoverished but vibrant dtes and will happily teach you about the issues my community here faces. I would love to exchange tips on cooking Pakistani food and baked goods.
