I'm Ali Hamza Chohan, originally from Pakistan 🇵🇰 — a curious, respectful, and open-minded traveler who loves exploring the world not just with a camera, but with an open heart and mind.

I believe that real travel is about meeting real people. That’s why Couchsurfing is a beautiful way to share stories, culture, food, and humanity.

Main aik friendly aur cooperative insan hoon — I enjoy talking to people from different walks of life, learning about their culture, aur unki zindagi kay tareeqay ko samajhna. 🌍

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that travel is more than just visiting places — it’s about meeting people, exchanging stories, and understanding cultures.

I’m on Couchsurfing because I want to experience the world through the eyes of locals, not just guidebooks. I’m not here for free accommodation only — I’m here for genuine connections, real experiences, and to learn how people live, think, and dream across the globe.

I also believe in hospitality and kindness, and I’d love to both host and be hosted by people who value respect, sharing, and peace.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy music that touches the soul — no matter the language.
Here’s what I love listening to:

🎧 Coke Studio Pakistan – soulful fusion of traditional and modern

🥁 Sufi music – especially Abida Parveen and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

🎸 Soft acoustic, chill beats while traveling

🌍 I also enjoy discovering local music from every country I visit!

Music for me is a universal language of emotions and peace. 🎶
📖 The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho – a magical story about following your dreams

📘 Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl – deep and inspiring

📕 Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak – a Sufi-inspired novel I really loved

📙 I also read about self-growth, history, travel, and spirituality
