I just finished my exchange semester at University of Edinburgh, Scotland. Now I am traveling around Europe with my friend Kamil from Edinburgh.

I am a Physics major and interested in all kinds of theoretical and engineering applications of Physics. Apart from academics, I love hiking and climbing. Going to the mountains is the first thing I try to do whenever I have free time. I also enjoy cooking especially Indian cuisine. I am always willing to go out and have a good time and I am cool with everything as long as it doesn't negatively affect other people :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Over the past few months, I was living in Edinburgh as an exchange student. During that time, I got a chance to host quite a few of my friends and some strangers. I really liked meeting new and interesting people this way. I formed strong friendships with those people and learned a lot about their cultures which complemented my study abroad experience.
Now, after the semester has finished, I am traveling with my friend across Europe and I want to keep meeting local people wherever I go to make the most out of my experience :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled in 4 continents in one year.
Hiked in Himalayas to the base camp of Nanga Parbat, the 9th highest mountain in the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

After being trained by my mom, I can cook pretty good Indian food and would be more than happy to cook dinner for you :)
I would be more than happy to share my perspectives on the life in Pakistan and how it is different than what I have experienced living in USA and Scotland.
I have traveled a lot in recent years and can always share plentiful stories of my adventures e.g the time I broke my knee while mountain biking in Colombia :p
