About Me

I am a Ph.D. scholar at the Asian Institute of Technology, Bangkok-Thailand. I am eager to travel to new places, and my profession and studies gave me an excellent chance to explore the world while getting knowledge from summer school and disseminating my research in conferences.

The beauty of the travel is to learn about the cultures and the values of other nations, religions, and races. This is the reason I traveled throughout my country, Thailand where I am currently pursuing my higher studies.

Travel is the time for me when I enjoy my self, dealing with the issues which I never faced/heard and meeting the colorful people of this world

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have not stayed with CS but I stayed in different areas of Pakistan including in poor villages and 5-star hotels.

During the last few years of travel within and outside of the country made me able to cope with any difficult situation. I talked to many people during my travel and they asked me how can you travel alone and it's not allowed in your country for girls to do this, and I told them that I am the bright side of my country.

Couch surfing will also help me to show the bright side of Pakistan to the world.

I want to invite people and to stay with me so I can also payback to CS community.
