Hey everyone, I'm Hamza!

I'm an avid traveler currently living in Baku, Azerbaijan, where I've gotten a taste of the rich tapestry of and cultures the world offers. This experience inspired me to open my arms (and perhaps my couch!) to fellow travelers on Couchsurfing.

Beyond Baku, I'm a curious soul with a backpack and a thirst for adventure. I love meeting new people and sharing stories over steaming cups of Azerbaijani tea (or your favorite beverage!).

I've hosted friends from various countries and learned much from their unique perspectives. Now, I'm excited to return the favor and connect with travelers passing through Baku.

A few things about me: I'm a tech enthusiast and can chat about almost anything – from the latest gadgets to hidden gems in Baku.

If you want a friendly face and a chance to experience authentic Baku, drop me a message! I'm always happy to recommend hidden cafes, and must-see sights, or simply swap travel tales.

Here's the kicker: While I mentioned Baku, I use Couchsurfing to connect with travelers even when I'm not there. So, feel free to reach out if our paths might cross elsewhere!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I use Couchsurfing not only to meet new people but also to immerse myself in their stories and experiences. By staying with locals in different countries, I get a unique opportunity to explore the true essence of life through their perspectives. I believe that connecting with ordinary people in different parts of the world allows me to gain a deeper understanding of diverse cultures, traditions, and ways of life. Moreover, Couchsurfing enables me to step out of my comfort zone, embrace new challenges, and foster meaningful connections with individuals who share similar passions and interests. Ultimately, this platform serves as a gateway to broaden my horizons, cultivate empathy, and create lasting memories that transcend geographical boundaries.

Music, Movies, and Books

My Favorite Music:

Music is the universal language that transcends boundaries, and I find solace in the enchanting tunes of ancient folk melodies. Among my favorites is Turkish Ancient Music, with its rich history and soul-stirring melodies that transport listeners to distant lands and bygone eras. The intricacies of traditional instruments and the hauntingly beautiful vocals resonate deeply within me, offering a connection to cultural roots and timeless traditions.

My Favorite Movies:

When it comes to movies, I am drawn to the imaginative realms of science fiction, where the boundaries of reality are pushed to their limits. One of my all-time favorites is "Avatar," a visually stunning masterpiece that transports viewers to the lush, otherworldly landscapes of Pandora. Beyond its breathtaking visuals, "Avatar" explores profound themes of environmentalism, spirituality, and the interconnectedness of all living beings, leaving a lasting impression on the mind and soul.

My Favorite Books:

As an avid reader, I believe in the transformative power of literature to expand horizons and provoke deep introspection. Two books that have profoundly influenced my perspective are "As a Man Thinketh" by James Allen and "Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor E. Frankl.

"As a Man Thinketh": This timeless classic delves into the power of thought and its profound impact on shaping one's destiny. Through eloquent prose and profound insights, James Allen emphasizes the importance of harnessing the power of positive thinking to achieve personal growth, success, and fulfillment.

"Man's Search for Meaning": Viktor Frankl's memoir is a poignant testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable adversity. Drawing from his experiences as a Holocaust survivor, Frankl explores the existential quest for meaning amidst suffering and despair. His profound reflections on finding purpose and inner strength amidst life's trials offer invaluable lessons for navigating the complexities of existence.

In summary, my eclectic taste in music, movies, and books reflects my curiosity about the world and a deep appreciation for art forms that provoke thought, stir emotions, and inspire profound introspection. I look forward to sharing these passions with fellow couch surfers and embarking on unforgettable journeys of exploration and discovery together!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Embarking on a mission to enhance environmental sustainability and promote responsible tourism, I took it upon myself to make a tangible difference in my community. In collaboration with local authorities and passionate volunteers, I spearheaded a project to install 250 dustbins in key tourist areas across Pakistan.

The endeavor was not merely about placing receptacles for waste; it symbolized a commitment to preserving the natural beauty of our landscapes and fostering a culture of cleanliness and environmental stewardship. Each dustbin served as a beacon of change, inviting visitors and locals alike to dispose of their litter responsibly and contribute to the preservation of our cherished natural heritage.

The project was met with enthusiastic support from both tourists and locals, who recognized the importance of maintaining clean and litter-free environments for present and future generations to enjoy. Beyond the physical act of installing dustbins, the initiative sparked conversations about the importance of sustainable tourism practices and the role each individual plays in safeguarding our planet.
