Hi guys! My name is Rehan, I study medicine in Sheffield and have been living here for like 5 years - it's a great place but miss being in a big city! I like travelling and meeting new people and think couchsurfing is a great way to do that! A few of my friends have hosted surfers and after hanging out and doing stuff all together I decided to sign up too!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people with similar interests, to get a local's perspective and ideas of what to do and where to go where I'm staying and try and practice the languages I'm learning and just to have fun!

Interests

I enjoy chilling out listening to music and watching films, I'm big fan of going to gigs too. I like watching sports, mostly football and tennis (and a bit of snooker - don't judge me) and play a bit of tennis and squash when I have time. I've recently gotten into photography and like to go to art galleries and museums and love to learn about different cultures!

Teach, Learn, Share

I quite like to cook and would be interested to learn some new dishes, share some of mine and cook things together.
I like a range of music and always like to discover new artists.
Getting into photography a bit, would love to learn from others and get some tips!
I'm a Buddhist (I don't have a shaved head and can't levitate unfortunately) and interested in other religions and philosophies, always happy to discuss things about that if others are interested (and if not I'm happy to not mention it!).
