Hey beautiful people! 😊 I live in Mohammadpur — a historic neighborhood beside the old Buriganga river, one of Dhaka's most storied waterways. I'm a poet, short story writer, and travel feature writer. I work for Views Bangladesh, the country's only bilingual newspaper. I love capturing the world through my camera, and cooking is a real passion — so expect good food at the table! My interests run deep — art, literature, history, social science, archaeology, plants, and nature. I'm open-minded, love meeting people, and believe the best way to truly know a place is to live like a local. If you stay with me, I'd love to take you through the narrow lanes of Old Dhaka, walk along the Buriganga at dusk, cook a proper Bengali meal together, or simply sit and talk about the world over tea. I welcome guests who are curious, open-minded, and respectful of local culture. You don't need to know Bangladesh — just bring your stories, and I'll bring mine. You're warmly welcome. 🙏

Quelque chose que je changerais en moi mais que je n'ai pas encore changé...
I can show you... Dhaka that doesn't appear in guidebooks — its history, its stories, its soul. Ask me about... Bengali literature, the Liberation War, Mughal Dhaka, or why this river city still breathes like a poem. The best conversations happen... over tea, with books around us and no rush to be anywhere. Local knowledge? I've been to every district of Bangladesh. I'm your best map.
Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing
I like to stay with locals when go somewhere. It gives me a better understanding of the region's history, myths, society, and environment. Always want to explore more. That's why I think this is the best way. And might be an opportunity to meet wonderful people all over the world! Couchsurfing is a place where every member has amazing stories, experiences. I want to hear your life stories. I want to share my experience with you...
Musique, films et livres
Mostly i like Bangla Baul folk song and techno music. Otherwise i like to Metal and indian classical music. But i don't have any specific movies or books. Many movies and books are my favorite.
