About Me

Estoy visitando Perú hasta el 31 de enero. Quiero hacer surfing y trekking. Mi plan: Huanchaco y Carhuaz. También me interesa la música, baile y comida de los barrios tradicionales de Lima.

My mother is from Scotland and my father is from Bangladesh. They met in France, moved to Canada, and I was born there.

I'm friendly and curious. See the "interests" section for my long list of interests. I just got my first DSLR camera so I'm learning basic photography.

Things I used to do: travel regularly to Bangladesh, WWOOFING and workaway, which is related to organic farming and permaculture, primitive and ancestral skills. I like travelling but I don't like emitting carbon.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A great guy from Montebello hosted me on a bike trip, which was my first experience. Since then I've used it a lot to meet people in Morocco and Bangladesh, and also to get out to the mountains north of my city. I've met people all over India, New York City and Vancouver and Maine, USA.
