Hi! I’m Akif, originally from Pakistan and currently based in South East Asia. I’m an explorer at heart — curious about people, cultures, food, and stories. When I’m not traveling, I love experimenting with food, exploring and making new friends.

People usually describe me as easygoing, curious, and a little bit adventurous. I love deep conversations as much as spontaneous adventures. I believe that the best part of traveling is not the places, but the people you meet along the way.

My Philosophy..
Collect stories, Not things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I believe the best part of travel is people. Hotels and hostels give you a bed, but Couchsurfing gives you stories, friendships, and local insights you can’t find anywhere else.

I’m here to meet new people, share good vibes, and make the world feel a little smaller and friendlier.
