I’m originally from Pakistan, and I just graduated with a master’s degree in communication management. I’ve been based in Washington DC, and love exploring how stories, culture, and community come together to shape the world around us. Outside of that, I’m into photography and cooking, both are ways I slow down and connect with people. I love making Pakistani food (my comfort zone!) and lately I’ve been trying my hands at Thai dishes too.
I enjoy thoughtful conversations, walking around new cities, and getting a feel for how locals live. I’m easygoing, respectful, and always happy to share a meal or a story. Looking forward to meeting kind, curious people and discovering the world through local eyes!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i love traveling, meeting new people, sharing stories, food, and music. whenever i travel, i try to stay away from the touristy things and get close to authentic feel of the place through my interactions with the locals. i love good conversations, listening to different perspectives and sometimes challenging them. i love arts and crafts, and good homemade food.
