ABOUT ME

'Explorer' is the word that may describe me the best. I am a person with versatile interests and hobbies ranging from traveling and fitness to photography and coffee. I have phases where I opt one of my passions/hobbies and do all the research that I can do about it. Collect related things and pursue it as much as possible as per my available resources. Learning about and pursuing things related to my passions keep me happy and motivated :)

CURRENT MISSION
Making year 2020 an year of traveling and exploration!

I spent a fair part of my life in U.A.E. while some years in Pakistan. I am still exploring different areas of Pakistan and I would like not only to speed up this exploration process but also expand it to different countries around the world, specially in year 2020.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was a active Couch surfer in UAE back in 2009 ,but due to work and life engagement. I stepped out for a few years.Now i'm back again as host and traveler.Meeting new people, learning about their culture, lifestyle, experiences, and share mine are the reasons that make me a wholehearted couch surfer!

Couch surfing provides me not only the opportunities to meet and know new people in my hometown but also helps me in fulfilling my dream of traveling the world for the real purpose of knowing people and their culture first hand.

I like to attend CS meetups and get to know about experiences of other couchsurfers of my community. Also, I do provide all the assistance required from my side to local hosts on couchsurfing platform and to the travelers looking for couches to stay in my city.
