A 25-year old Software Engineer ready to explore the world. I’m a Pakistani but a Turkish resident, currently living in Liepaja, Latvia as an Erasmus student. My aim is to travel all the Schengen states in 5 months, starting from September 2021. *I am fully vaccinated*

Update (1st Jan): I travelled most of it and I’m super proud 😁😁😁

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

People. From people. To people.
I met an amazing Hungarian in Budapest 🇭🇺 and he told me it’s not about the places you visit, but the people you meet. I’ll never forget him and what he said 🌠

Meeting people, lots of them, restored my trust in humanity and I’ve come to believe how similar we are despite the differences. I’ve gained more knowledge than any book can share and it’s from the people. Every person contributed to where I’m today and I don’t want this to stop ❤️
