I came to the US in 2012 to get my PhD. That is when I started using CS. Im now hooked! I moved back to Pakistan last year and now teach here. As a part time academic, part time traveler, part time socialite - Im loving my life here. I am a low maintenance traveler. I love seeing new things and meeting people from different places. I enjoy conversation and company, but sometimes I need my solitude. I feel like I really got to know the US through CS and i appreciate the space this provides for travel/diversity enthusiasts to meet each other. Honestly, it makes me feel a little better about the world we live in :)

Please read if requesting stay while living in Pakistan:
Generally, I do NOT host anyone who lives close by. That means I will not be hosting you if you are a Pakistani resident. If you are living in Pakistan and send a request to stay, you need to CLEARLY mention :
- what the purpose of your trip is
- why you need to stay with me and do not have alternative arrangements
- your permanent place of residence
Also- I use CS ONLY for the purposes it is intended for. Do not send me messages to ‘get coffee’. I am not interested in friendships over messaging and I will report your profile. Please respect the forum. Peace
