Hi!

Even though i'd joined CS a while back, i'm still relatively new to the whole couchsurfing scene and thought i'd explore it a bit more. I'm a fresh graduate who just finished his Masters thesis in helsinki, but am originally from Pakistan. I love all the cliches you'd usually read here: travel/cook/learn something new, and feel like this is the perfect time to rediscover these things.

I'm all for deep conversations ranging from parallel universes to a discussion about wage disparity for football players in a second tier league. Yup. That is exactly the range.

Cheers

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been planning a trip around Europe for quite a while and now that i'm done with my studies, i want to actually go ahead with it. Couchsurfing seems like the perfect platform to not only find a temporary place to stay but also get to meet dope people who'd (hopefully?) help this wanderer out in exploring the region.

I plan on travelling a fair amount in the coming months and hope to meet people who know how to have a good time soon!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm pretty decent at writing and have helped write some pretentious, pseudo-intellectual music lyrics for a few friends' bands which don't really make sense tbh. But still - somewhat of a wordslinger.

Teach, Learn, Share

There's a looootttttttt of things i'm interested in and can have hours of conversation based on the topic of interest.

What I Can Share with Hosts

my (fairly limited) experiences which I can make sound like pretty cool stories, badly-timed puns which are guaranteed to let loose a snicker (or maybe just a suppressed exhale from the nose), some good vibes and energy, healthy debate on anything and the opportunity to meet an all round good guy - but don't take my word for it, meet me and find out for yourself
