Greetings fellow travelers! 🌍 My name is Sawon Dey, and I hail from the picturesque region of Sylhet, Bangladesh. I recently completed my bachelor's degree in accounting and followed my passion by delving into a one-year master's program focused on tourism studies here in Bangladesh.

Currently, I'm setting my sights on a new adventure—I aspire to pursue another two-year master's degree in Tourism Studies at Coventry University in the UK. It's an exciting journey that promises to deepen my understanding of the fascinating world of tourism.

When I'm not immersed in my studies, I split my time between the vibrant city of Sylhet and the serene surroundings of my hometown, Juri. In Juri, I live with my incredibly warm and flexible family, a group of 11 amazing individuals who redefine the meaning of hospitality. We're not just a family; we're a close-knit community, and our home is filled with laughter, stories, and an open-hearted welcome to everyone who crosses our threshold.

Our little village, Juri, is a treasure trove of diversity. Surrounded by lush tea gardens, you'll have the opportunity to explore the lives and culture of tea garden workers. If you're intrigued, a visit to the tea factory is a possibility—I can arrange it for you. Additionally, our village is home to tribal groups like the Khasi and Manipuri, offering you a chance to visit their communities and immerse yourself in their unique lifestyles.

Curious to know more about us? Feel free to explore the glowing reviews on my Couchsurfing profile, where fellow travelers have shared their enriching experiences with my family and me. Our home is not just a place to stay; it's a haven of friendliness, cultural exchange, and unforgettable memories.

So, if you're seeking an authentic and welcoming experience in Sylhet or Juri, look no further. Whether you're passing through for a night or staying a bit longer, our doors are wide open, ready to embrace you into our unique world.

Safe travels, and I hope to welcome you soon!
