Looking forward to meeting you!
I have a single-room apartment close to the center of Munich. There's sleeping space for 3 (including me) or 4 (if you don't mind being tight and cozy).
It is a common/shared sleeping space so I exist in the same room as you. :)
From Munich Central Station/ Flixbus ZOB, it's 20 minutes by foot. I will send you the exact location in the messages. Just for reference, you can find Hochschule München for a rough idea of where the apartment is.

Just a normal person who likes to meet interesting people and learn and appreciate cultural differences or nuances.

*Please do not be offended if I decline your request without a reply (:*

I have been living in Germany (Munich specifically) since 2016. I graduated from TU Munich and currently working full-time in the semiconductor sector.
I am originally from Karachi, Pakistan (South-East Asia) so I have experienced both Eastern and Western cultures. I am an ambivert who likes to hang out with my friends, loves to engage in subjective conversations, and is interested in making long-term acquaintances.

I am an uncomplicated host, love to share my experiences and culture (music, arts, language, food), and listen to other people's experiences.

If you share a cultural nuance that is new to me, your first coffee is on me!

I like the concept of existentialism. Are we in this world for a reason, does anything matter at all, should we do good, or what is in fact 'good'? Of course, there is no answer to such questions but I like to hear what other people think about them.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

Why do I host people?

There are many straightforward reasons.
1. I help someone, someone will help me.
2. When I meet new people, I learn new things. I improve myself personally.
3. I get to have new experiences which I can share later with others.

There are some subtle reasons too. I like to take as much responsibility (for myself, my country, my culture, my family, and my values) as possible. When people meet someone from a different country/culture, they try to extract the key features of that country/culture from the behavior of that single person. This, technically, is called generalization which is an important technique humans use for foreseeing. I want to meet people so that the generalization they make about my country/culture would be positive.

I am interested in the concept of language. How we use words to transfer our thoughts to someone else's mind and how well we do it is remarkable. I like Ludwig Wittgenstein's theory of language that 'words trigger pictures in the mind'. If you want to understand better, your mind should already have a picture of that object/concept. Hence, meeting different people and learning about different things/customs/cultures makes me populate the database of pictures in my mind. This, in turn, will help me understand better.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I haven't done anything 'amazing' in my life (yet). But I have done several small things like helping a guy start a small business, teaching underprivileged kids in Pakistan, taking care of university debating society, etc. I believe that 'doing small things, consistently ' is amazing.
