I’m a banker by profession. Traveling to different countries and experiencing varying cultures, architecture, history and cuisine is something I’m passionate about. Hiking/ Trekking is my favorite past time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Made the plan and traveled from Dubai to Brazil within a day. Visited Northern Areas of Pakistan and was completely gobsmacked by them.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will be glad to share with couch surfers, the different places and experiences in the UAE from an insider’s perspective, ones popular amongst the tourists as well as off the beaten path

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’ll be happy to help the hosts around their home chores or anything else they would need a hand with. I am polite, helpful and don't like to interfere in other people's business. I will try to leave your place better than I found it.
