ABOUT ME

My friends say I am friendly, easy going and funny. I love interacting with new people and making friends. Other than traveling, I love playing and watching sports and yes I love food.

I try to give respect to everyone whatever their nationality, religion or culture is. I like to talk on different topics. I am quite talkative if I meet one or two new people but if there is a big group I prefer to stay quite and enjoy listening what they talk. I like to share my experiences with others and like to know about theirs.

I love to travel and see new places. I had my first foreign tour when I was 9 but of course it was with family haha. My country is big and I have already seen all of its regions long time back. I left my job and became a freelancer so I could travel without any trouble.

I want to travel the entire world but my pocket does not allow me to do that lol. I wish I get enough money to realize my dream one day.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others the way you want to be treated.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did so. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. - Mark Twain

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to participate as much as I can. I always try to host people even its a last minute request. I prefer being a CS guest than staying at a hostel to know more about local culture and meeting new people. I try to attend CS weekly meetings in every city I go. I try to arrange meet ups on regular basis in my own city as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I already have had good amount of CS experience in short span of time and everyone of them was not just good but great. I have hosted, surfed and met a number of locals in my city. I can't thank enough my friend who introduced me to this great community. I have made number of friends through CS and every single one of them is so nice.

Interests

There is a very long list. Almost every new thing interests me but my biggest interest is sports, especially tennis and cricket both playing and watching.

I am also fond of travelling, socializing, outdoor activities, music, movies, going to the beach, food and the list goes on and on.

Teach, Learn, Share

We can exchange travel stories and share our culture. I can teach you some words from my native language Urdu/Hindi (Urdu is Pakistan's national language and Hindi is India's national language)

I can give you information about travelling in Pakistan or guide you about travelling overland from Pakistan to India, Iran or China.

As many of my previous hosts applied for Pakistani visa extension and then Indian visa, so I can guide my guests in that matter.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My culture, travel stories, information about our countries and the countries we have traveled to.
