Because I love this platform. The surfers come as a stranger and leave as a friend. I can also show the authentic Bangladeshi systems; elsewhere it is difficult to experience the true Bengali household. And most of them are like-minded like me; they love adventures, want to try different foods, activities etc And we can exchange souvenirs or small gifts. It feels really amazing to have several items from different countries and it reminds me also of the adventures I had with those surfers. My parents also love those small gifts or souvenirs travellers bring from their country. And I have a little hobby of collecting currency around the world. Maybe we can exchange currency.

Music: I’m a big fan of old rock—think Queen, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Bob Dylan. Timeless sound, real soul. Movies: I love the ones that stay with you long after the credits roll: Forrest Gump, Bicycle Thieves, The Shawshank Redemption, Malèna, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Requiem for a Dream, Schindler's List, The Pianist, Pather Panchali, Parasite… and the list goes on. TV Series: Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Better Call Saul, and Vikings etc Books: I’ve read several Bengali books and a few international ones. Lately, I’m diving into Kafka and Dostoevsky—heavy stuff, but fascinating!
