I'm open minded, upfront, and have a knack of seeing things from multiple angles and a tendency to disregard social norms if necessary. I also deeply care about making myself useful to others.

I've lived the first third of my life in Saudi Arab, second third in Bangladesh, and have been living the last 9 years in US. I build educational videos and consumer facing products for fun and living. Listening to what others are passionate about excites me. Love anything to do with the great outdoors - from sea to summit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hotels or Airbnb doesn't allow you to immerse yourself into the culture. The primary reason I'm drawn to traveling is to meet people and experience the world through their eyes.

Interests

I like anything which inspires or helps me grow as a person - getting lost in nature while hiking, reading a good book, watching a beautiful sunset, stargazing, spending a lazy day watching movies, cooking and having dinner with friends and family - all the small things in life which makes it worth living.

Music, Movies, and Books

Big fan of indie music...
Science fiction and high fantasy all the way!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I dived in the sky from an airplane, swam with sharks in open water, hiked an active volcano, but the most amazing thing I've done is creating an educational nonprofit seven years back which now has more than 150,000 members. That's my baby and I love it.

Teach, Learn, Share

Umm... Not sure what this field means but I believe the more you share the more you grow.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll cook for you some authentic Bangladeshi cuisine and go full nerd about astrophysics, history or human mind. I'm also also very passionate about education tech or social entrepreneurship, so I'll be more than happy to use my software development experience to discuss ideas and collaborate.
