About Me

Hey guys, unfortunately I cannot host anyone at the moment because I don't have a place of my own and I'm moving around. However, I promise to start hosting again once I am more settled. This is only a transitional period. Thank you for your understanding! Happy couchsurfing! : )

CURRENT MISSION

To contribute to poverty eradication through the creation of financially sustainable businesses. The social business model was developed by Nobel Peace Laureate Muhammad Yunus to tackle extreme poverty in Bangladesh. My organization, Social Business Earth, implements this model to solve social and environmental problems, affecting disadvantaged people who live in both developing and developed countries.

ABOUT ME

I love my work in Social Business. I'm vegan.

PHILOSOPHY

Zen meditation - Thich Nhat Hanh

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host couchsurfers when I can and I am hosted by couchsurfers when I travel mostly for work.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Great! I met lots of lovely people!

Interests

I like to swim, go for runs, read, listen to music, do yoga and zen meditation. I also enjoy eating and making delicious vegan food, since I am vegan and don't believe in eating animal products.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Starting to practice Zen meditation and meeting my first Zen master Kangan at 17 and then Thich Nhat Hanh.
Realizing my own potential, that I can do a lot for people in need by training them to start their own social business.
Meeting Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, Muhammad Yunus who has since become my mentor in social business and meeting good-hearted people every day. I feel so lucky!
