Hey, I’m Siddique!
I’m 32, a backpacker, designer, and artist who has spent half my life in the United States and half in Pakistan. Traveling has been part of my life since I was 18, but it wasn’t until I discovered Couchsurfing that I realized how much it adds to the journey, real connections, amazing stories, and unforgettable memories.

I’ve just wrapped up a year building my startup in Pakistan (a wild ride in itself!), and now I’m back doing what I love most, traveling the world, meeting new people, and chasing experiences.

I recently returned from a beautiful backpacking trip across Europe, Milan to Brescia, Lake Garda, Trento, Siusi, Innsbruck, Munich, Amsterdam (fell in love instantly!), Hannover, Antwerp, and Brussels. Hitchhiking, running into old friends, getting lost in cities, and finding home in strangers’ kindness, that’s the magic I carry with me.

Now I’m back in Lahore, my hometown, hosting and giving back to the same community that gave me so much.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because people make the journey. The conversations, shared meals, crazy stories, and those little moments are what stay forever. Hosting or surfing, it’s all about sharing the road, the laughs, and sometimes even the silence.

Interests

The important part is the people who are close to you. They make the perfect environment. The context, the stories of the people and the environment make every moment special and something to remember forever.

If two people want to talk, they will do it. It doesn't matter the language.

I love traveling, backpacking and hitchhiking and cycling. So don't be surprised if I am talking about traveling too much.
