Membro dal 2016
Getting by, one trip at a time. I try to be unassuming, curious, impartial and stay humble. I like meeting new people (at least when I'm active on CS!), learn about their stories, and stories from local food, places, literature, culture, arts and the cinema. I like to hike and would love to explore a couple of nice hikes in your country. I also enjoy Jazz music and chilled out rooftop bars. Let's leave some stories to exchange in conversations. I'm based out of Dubai, originally from Pakistan. I do product management in the payments space in the MENA region.

Perché sono su Couchsurfing

Una cosa straordinaria che ho fatto
Hiked to one of the only two Blue Fire places in the world (Kawah Ijen, Indonesia), (and got engulfed in the fire but survived well!) :)
Insegna, Impara, Condividi
Our stories and experiences and reflections on life around us :) I can share things about Pakistan and living in Pakistan (Hunza!). Would be glad to discuss cultures, history, books, movies and events around the world. As well as startup ideas!
