I'm a 31 year old counsellor, extrovert and empath, passionate about mental health and wellbeing. Born in Bangladesh, and raised in Melbourne.

I'm a hopeless history geek, decidedly average guitarist, lover of good novels and biographies, and scatterbrained aspiring writer.

I love folk music, indie rock, classic hip hop and Motown.

Frequent thinker about politics, culture and identity. Left-leaning, but I try to be open to other views. :)

Absolute sports nut with interests not limited to Liverpool FC and the Bangladesh cricket team.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Because travelling is nothing without the people we meet and the connections we make, however fleetingly. :)
