I've just moved to Bahrain from Pakistan to join my partner. There are not an awful lot of heritage-based activities to do in this relatively new Gulf state, but there is plenty of sun, sand, and turquoise sea.

I generally keep myself busy by measuring aid impact (that's the day job), strumming on my guitar, and jumping in the sea. I'm also a keen runner and an aspiring yogi.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined this community a while back as a traveler, and now I have the capacity to host, I'd like to give something back!

Besides, no one offers stimulating, perspective-changing conversation like enthusiastic and adventurous globetrotters.

Interests

History, politics, languages, people, culture clashes, culture shocks, cultural fusions, the outdoors, making music, camping, sunshine, European cinema, life philosophies, yoga, dancing...

Just about anything - as long as someone is passionate about something, they make it interesting, and I'm all ears.

Been a part of something that saved a young girl's life.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Yoga. We have a mini studio here at the house. I can lead you in practice, if you like.

Learn: I'm interested to learn about programming, coding, app development... If you have any know-how in those fields, I'll be wanting to pick your brain.

Share: Music, food, and laughter are my favourite things to share.
