Corporate Travel Specialist by profession. Loves writing, philosophy, music, art, photography, astrology and good conversations. If you wanna talk about deep stuff, bring it on! I haven't been hosting or traveling for a while. But will be soon back on track. I have hosted more people than been hosted. I love exploring new places, so more on being hosted is yet to be updated on my profile. I study astrology as a hobby so feel free to ask me for a reading if you are into that.

My name is 𝐊𝐀𝐑𝐋,but once we sit down and chat about my life and travel adventures, you might come up with a new nickname for me. I've pulled off some mind-blowing, super surprising stuff in the world of couch surfing and have so many funny stories to share.Traveling is an addiction for me and meeting new Travelers is a hobby. So, "𝐃𝐎𝐍𝐓 𝐁𝐄 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐂𝐊𝐄𝐃", if you receive any invitation from me to be my guest or hang out for coffees or drinks in Dubai. The agenda of my life is simple. ✈️ 𝓣𝓡𝓐𝓥𝓔𝓛....𝓣𝓡𝓐𝓥𝓔𝓛 𝓐 𝓛𝓞𝓣, 𝓑𝓤𝓣 𝓞𝓝𝓒𝓔 𝓘𝓝 𝓐 𝓦𝓗𝓘𝓛𝓔, 𝓣𝓡𝓐𝓥𝓔𝓛 𝓑𝓐𝓒𝓚 𝓣𝓞 𝓨𝓞𝓤𝓡 𝓡𝓞𝓞𝓣𝓢 🌿 I’ve always wanted to travel the world and meet different people, but settling down in life has always been my first priority.I realized very late that life could be very unpredictable, so better late than never, I decided to travel the world after working for more than 𝟭𝟴 𝗬𝗥𝗦 𝗜𝗡 𝗗𝗨𝗕𝗔𝗜. Initially, I asked few of my close friends to join me but they also had the same priority like mine😂, so I decided, not to wait for anyone and travel solo. After many trips, I joined couch surfing in May 22. I never knew about this app until I heard about it on a flight journey to Baku. I met few CS in Baku through this app and 𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐌! I completely fell in love with it. I'm still new and exploring it and I'm absolutely amazed how it could connect fellow travelers like me. I love adventure sports and I love heights or anything that has huge risk. I’m a huge fan of 𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐊𝐄𝐓 as well and I'm so crazy about this sport that I own a Cricket team in Dubai called ‘𝐗𝐋𝐍𝐂 ‘ and I play around 3-4 times a week. I also own a bat licensed by ICC (International Cricket Council) signed by the legendary, ‘God of Cricket’ a.k.a 𝐒𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐔𝐋𝐊𝐀𝐑. Personal message to me from from renowned West Indies cricketer 𝐂𝐇𝐑𝐈𝐒 𝐆𝐀𝐘𝐋𝐄 a.k.a The Universe Boss🤩🤩. Only a true Cricket fan could comprehend my feelings😁 https://youtube.com/shorts/60NF_R4M9Uw?feature=share 𝗠𝘆 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝘄𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗚 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗝𝗠𝗥 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴. https://www.instagram.com/reel/Ca0T_XShYD8/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= I watch football only during the World Cup matches and to be honest, other than Messi & Ronaldo, I don't know anyone and I'm ashamed to say that my knowledge of the best sports in the world is 𝐙𝐄𝐑𝐎 ☹️ I'm also a foodie and I love exploring different varieties of meat. I'm not proud of it, but at one stage I stop eating meat and became full time vegan. I did it for few months and then lost interest as I was finding difficult to find food while traveling. One of the worst mistakes of my life and I completely regret it🥴 𝗙𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 - 𝗩𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀𝗲, 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗶, 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀 & 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 I'm not a religious person, but I respect all the religion and their values. I believe that if you do good to someone, someone would do the same for you. I go an extra mile to help people that I like or close to me, irrespective of their caste, color or religion. I also believe that 𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗦 exist. It's scarier to think that we are alone in this universe or to think we aren't👽

Hi, I’m Nadeem — originally from Mumbai, but I’ve been calling the UAE home for the past 11 years. I’ve always had a passion for meeting people from different cultures and learning from every interaction. Though I may be a bit reserved at first, I truly value meaningful conversations and the genuine connections that come from them. I’m also a vegetarian and enjoy exploring local cuisines that align with my lifestyle — from traditional Indian dishes to discovering creative plant-based options wherever I travel. I love exploring new places, discovering hidden gems, and sharing those experiences with fellow travelers. Whether it’s swapping travel stories or learning something new about life, I believe every encounter has something to offer. When I’m not on the volleyball court or playing a thoughtful game of chess, you’ll likely find me outdoors — hiking, enjoying nature, or planning my next mini adventure. If you’re visiting Dubai or the UAE, I’d be happy to show you around! My favorite time for local outings is in the evenings, when the city traffic eases and the skyline lights up beautifully. I’m generally available on weekdays for meetups and local tours. One of my favorite spots to take guests is Khorfakkan — a scenic coastal town about 100 km from Dubai/Sharjah. It’s a bit of a drive, so I usually do it on a contribution basis, but it’s absolutely worth it! You’ll get to experience a mix of mountains, beaches, light hiking, and even a waterfall — the perfect escape into nature. Looking forward to connecting with fellow travelers, sharing experiences, and creating memorable journeys together!

🌍About Me I love everything about nature — forests, mountains, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, snow, fog, deserts, greenery, and camping. If it’s outdoors, I’m in! I enjoy exploring new places, whether by hitchhiking, solo travel, or going with a group. Meeting new people is one of the best parts of traveling for me. I especially enjoy connecting with those who have interesting stories to share — whether over a cup of tea/coffee or during a walk together. If I host you, consider my home as your home. There are no strict rules — just one small request: please don’t spend all your time on your phone watching reels or scrolling. Let’s talk, share experiences, and make the most of the time together. Couchsurfing is about human connection, not just free accommodation. Sometimes I check the list of upcoming travelers and send a friendly welcome message. If you receive one, please understand . It’s just my way of saying, “Hi, welcome to the city!” If you feel like replying, you're most welcome. If not, feel free to ignore it — no worries, and definitely no drama needed. Let’s keep it simple and respectful. Friend Requests. If we haven’t met, chatted, or interacted before, I generally won’t accept friend requests. Let’s connect genuinely through conversation or experiences first. 💼 𝐁𝐲 𝐃𝐚𝐲: 𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥-𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥. 🌄 𝐁𝐲 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧: T𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫. 🤝 𝐋𝐞𝐭’𝐬 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭!
