CURRENT MISSION

To go on the road less traveled ...

ABOUT ME

The world is a book and those who dont travel read only one page...

Read this quote on a bookshop window in Barcelona and since then it has became my mission statement :)

The one thing that I love and perhaps the only thing about which I am sure is that I wanna see this world and travel as much as possible. I was lucky enough to have such lovely parents who induced this spirit in me and took me around the world when I wasnt even able to speak well.

I am a Media guy and have studied Marketing... Adventure travel enthusiast ....blah blah ...I think I am overdoing:)...try to find out yourself

I belong to a progressive conservative family and reflects a traditional Pakistani/Indian middle class family. Pakistanis are famous for their hospitality and warm nature, once overcame the doubt factor they can go to any length to help or be friends with anyone. Pakistan is also famous for its spicy, delicious food and loads of sweet dishes...so if you are coming to Pakistan do take the liberty to indulge yourself a bit :)

I love to know people from different background and ethnicity. So pls introduce yourself my friend...

PHILOSOPHY

As for the crooked philosophy about life that I have so far I have figured that We learn as we live.

In the search for myself and to find answers to my constant confusions about life and its different phenomenon I have jumped from mountain, from perfectly good airplanes, swam in the sea bed, walked the earth, sailed on ship, found a girl, broke up with that girl and perhaps now I can safely say that:
"I know atlast that I know nothing at all."
This search is ongoing, the answers keep on updating and changing and I will keep you my friends and strangers posted on this quest as I try to fill the void.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

The concept is very cool...I love to offer my couch and do surfing myself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have traveled to a few places and most of that as a tourist and I feel now its high time to move a step further...dig deeper...know the culture and civilization ... learn the difference in the thinking of people from different cultures and how they perceive the world...I think its a perfect process of evolution...I am growing... I look forward to it very much.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was a small kid standing in the front of the ship that we were sailing and we had just gotten out of Japanese territory and were heading towards Korea and all around our ship there were dolphins jumping...I dont know where they came from but this show kept on going for about hour and a half...and I can still close my eyes and imagine the scene...out of this world :)
