I'm an Emergency Medicine doctor who loves to travel the world. I have taken it upon myself to try and visit every country on earth! Have already visited 136/198 on a Bangladeshi passport (9th worst in the world)! Sharing my journey on instagram- raiiq.ridwan I love meeting new people, experiencing a different culture, learning from different societies, reading up on history and socio-politics and knowing in-depth about each place I visit! I like incredible vistas and also culturally rich cities! Love the sea, adore the mountains! I can engage in both deep discussuions on politics, religion and sociology or just make lame jokes about life I come with lots of travel stories, a sense of humour and I believe a good heart!
