I teach politics and urbanisation at the Beaconhouse National University in Lahore and work as editorial writer for The News. I am a left-wing activist.
My wife, Sara Kazmi, teaches history and language politics at the Lahore University of Management Sciences. She is trained in Indian classical music and Punjabi folk music. She is also a part of street theatre troupe.
We usually travel together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We both believe that the best way to travel is to do it with interesting people from the countries we are travelling to. We hope couch surfing will allow us to meet new people with diverse interests of both an artistic and political nature. I usually travel to countries where I have friends who can host me.
