Hi,

I'm Umar, a software developer living in Islamabad. I live in an apartment in F-11 Markaz, which is a little bigger than my needs. So I'd be happy to share it with fellow couchsurfers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like exploring cultures and meeting with new people from different backgrounds. I've some travel plans this year and I'm looking forward to use Couchsurfing to find more chances of experiencing local cultures, which I doubt hotels can provide.

Interests

I like reading books, running, playing table-tennis, traveling and spending good time with friends and family. I also sometimes sketch people (https://instagram.com/umarashfaq/).

Music, Movies, and Books

History and geography fascinates me, so my favorite movies and books are related to those two subjects. I also like exploring about spirituality/meditation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done so many amazing things it's hard to pick one ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

It's my first time on Couchsurfing so no experience yet. I'm eager to learn from you if you know more.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have an apartment in F-11 markaz which a nice market with a lot of coffee shops, restaurants, food chains, banks, bakeries and shopping centers. Margala hills are very close to us, and you can find beautiful hiking tracks at 15-20 minutes drive.

The apartment itself is 4 bedroom and at groundfloor. I can offer a full room with attached washroom, central heating system, air-conditioner, wifi/internet and laundry. We've a cook with us who makes us delicious Pakistani foods which I'll be happy to share with you.

Oh and did I mention that we have full table-tennis equipment inside the apartment, if you're into the game :)
