السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ, Hello, Hola, 你好, नमस्ते, Bonjour, Hallo, Olá, হ্যালো, Здравствуйте. 3aslema.

(nobody writes references, if everyone whom I met wrote a reference for me, I would've had 1000+ references for sure.) some people just ignore you after meetup, as if you never met them. wow?) still I wanna be nice to genuine travelers and I'm back to hosting people.) I was too shy earlier, now I wanna be frank, bring a gift for me, possibly as cheap as a hand written letter, a post card from your country, and a rare currency.

I was born and raised in Hyderabad, and I’ve traveled across many countries, but my heart always comes back here. I love meeting new people, specially those who are travelling to my country and helping travelers experience Hyderabad beyond the tourist checklist. If you’re in my city, I’ll make sure you know the best biryani, if possible at my home and cherish you with local experiences that guidebooks often miss. My name is William Shakespeare, I mean, what's in a name, if your name wasn't Romeo, but something else, would you have changed? You would still be the same, right here on couch surfing, scrolling through my profile. won't you? Well, it's a pleasure meeting you today, don't miss to connect with me. I'm a computer geek, tech-savvy, video-gamer, dreamer, poet, part time philosopher and above all I'm a cat and a vivid traveler. Yes! I'm a traveler, not a tourist. I believe in the magic of meeting strangers and befriending them. I've spent half of my life on Google Earth and Google Maps. I love exploring each and every inch of earth. I'm more of a countryside person than a cityside. I give priority to fantasy carousel. If I am not working, I'm always thinking about travelling. I am a very religious person and a worldly person at the same time. But I've my etiquettes, morals and ethics. I am a secular person and respect everyone.

I earn less, spend less.

→ Early to rise and early to bed makes a man healthy but socially dead

→ Traveling, it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller
→ The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.

P.S. Please read my home section before sending me a request, though rest assure, if I am in city, you are 100% welcome to my home and I host everybody. I don't filter out travelers, since I understand the pain behind a budget trip haha. All are welcome.

but anyway I am citizen of the world...and there is nearly no month without a flight in any new country...I will do it until the end of my life! Travelling makes me happy.

If you hangout with me, DON'T ALWAYS LOOK AT YOUR PHONE, PLEASE. I HATE PEOPLE HOLDING PHONE BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE CHANCES TO COMMUNICATE AND WE WILL MISS MANY CHANCES TO LISTEN, TO FEEL , TO ENJOY THAT DAY and because I'll think 'I'm boring' if you do that. LOL.

My time very precious, so is yours, I don't have much time to hangout normally, I work weekdays even weekends , but if I accept to go out with you , it means I respect and have a positive view of you. :)

I personally believe, AI can't speak on behalf of humans, so please refrain from using ChatGPT to text me, I dislike it. :)

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I have a passion for making friends. I am always on the lookout for a friend, everywhere and at all times. I used to think, why not go beyond the count of just one, two or few people and make friends with the entire world? I can meet people from different backgrounds, and I believe in the magic of meeting strangers and befriending them and to shower hospitality on everyone who visits my city. To meet different languages, cultures and history from around the world.
