AYUBOWAN 🙏

On the eve of 2012, joining Couchsurfing was my New Year's resolution. To meet new people and explore new places. 🤩

Oh! Boy, what a resolution that has been 🎶✨️🤯

I’m a Social Entreprenuer, Corporate Trainer/Consultant, and now part of a rapidly growing Social Scale Up business (www.tuktukrental.com).

I specialize in small and medium-scale businesses and startups while juggling my passion for business and travel.

I am keen to use my extra-disposable energy to engage in immersive and meaningful CS experiences 🤩

A bit about my past – I was always the misfit in school, skipping classes to play football or cricket. 🏏

Being outdoors shaped me, and I’ve never quite fit into the traditional corporate world. Instead, I thrived in advertising and brand planning/strategy where understanding people and their behavior, schooled my creativity to strategise for big brands like: KFC, Proctor & Gamble, Akzonobel, Samsung and Nestle.

I’m a dreamer, thinker, and mover. I truly believe passion is the key to excelling in everything – work, education, sports, and even relationships.

Travel has been life-changing for me. I co-founded a National Award-Winning Travel Startup in 2015.

I love talking about ideas, ideals, and challenging them likewise with a twist of humour.

I love wandering into the woods or climbing up a mountain or even a wild road trip - with the right people. 🚥

I can be a chatter box! Lately I have taken up badminton 🏸 💪🏽

Let’s connect! If you’re in Colombo/Negombo. Usually after 07 PM on weekdays, any time on weekends.

Drop me a message at least 24 hours in advance, and let’s plan to meet.

Philosophy 💭

Philosophy is life! My thoughts may seem a little *mad*, but I’ll share them with those who truly get it 😉

"Be humble. Because as people, we may stumble."
