Hi, my name is Ashraf and I'm from Malaysia. I am a patron of the arts who sees beauty and poetry in everything. I love meeting new people and listening to their stories. Always at the ready to embark on a new adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I write poetry and I'm travelling to see the world in all its beauty and grandeur, mainly to experience the arts and culture of each country I go to, and meet as many people as I can from around the world. I also intend to write stories about my travels and my experiences as a person of the world.
