Hi! I am Roshan and I've been active in the local CS community for about 8 years now. I am based in Manila but am originally of Sindhi background.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am mostly on Couchsurfing to attend meetups and make new friends, and I am very grateful for having met so many awesome people through this platform over the years!

Interests

I love nature and the outdoors, specially when it challenges me, like during long hikes. I like working out and keeping in shape, and recently got into yoga.

My drink of choice is gin on the rocks, and I am always up for a shisha session.

Music, Movies, and Books

More fond of shows than movies - dramas by HBO and often AMC and FX top the list. My all time favorites are The Wire, Rome, The Sopranos, The Shield, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Deadwood, The Americans, Boardwalk Empire and many more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked in the Himalayas! Made it to Annapurna Base Camp in 2013, and in 2014 I climbed my first five thousander, Tserko Ri, in Nepal's Langtang region. In 2016 I did the Sham Valley trek in Ladakh, India's high altitude little Tibet, and in 2018 I went back to backpack and hike through the Kinnaur, Spiti and Parvati valleys of Himachal.
