Hi! I’m Syed, a travel enthusiast, lifelong learner, and people person. By profession, I’m an HR leader with 20+ years of experience working with multinational companies, but outside of work, I’m passionate about meeting new people, experiencing different cultures, and exchanging ideas.

I believe that travel isn’t just about places—it’s about connections. Whether it’s sharing stories over a meal, learning local customs, or helping someone feel at home in a new city, I love building meaningful relationships wherever I go.

I’m always excited to meet new people, share experiences, and make lifelong friends through Couchsurfing. If you think we’d be a good fit, feel free to reach out! Looking forward to the journey ahead.

My Couchsurfing Philosophy

I strongly believe in respect, open-mindedness, and kindness. Whether I’m hosting or being hosted, I appreciate genuine interactions, cultural exchange, and a welcoming environment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, Couchsurfing is more than just a way to find accommodation—it’s about creating memorable experiences. I enjoy hosting and being hosted, as it allows for genuine cultural exchange and a deeper understanding of people’s journeys.
