ABOUT ME

Hi there! I’m Naveed, a visual storyteller based in the beautiful emirate of Sharjah.

Since 2016, I’ve been working as a professional photographer, videographer, and graphic designer. I run my own creative agency, Creative Fusion LLC, where I help individuals and businesses tell their stories through visuals.
I consider myself lucky to live in Sharjah while working frequently in Dubai. It gives me the best of both worlds: the calm, cultural, and artistic richness of Sharjah, balanced with the fast-paced, futuristic energy of Dubai.
I am passionate about creativity, genuine connections, and exploring the incredible diversity that the UAE has to offer. Whether I’m behind the camera or sharing a cup of tea, I’m always looking to capture the beauty in the moment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I believe that every person has a story worth telling. Couchsurfing is the perfect way to connect with people from different walks of life, exchange ideas, and see the world through new perspectives.
I’m here to:

• Meet travelers and locals who share a passion for life and creativity.
• Show visitors the hidden gems of the UAE (beyond just the skyscrapers!).
• Connect with the global community right here in my backyard.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love seeing the UAE through the eyes of visitors. There is so much more to this country than just skyscrapers, and I enjoy showing travelers the authentic side of the Emirates from the art galleries in Al Serkal Avenue to the historic souks of Sharjah.

I’m here to connect with interesting people, swap travel stories, and make genuine friends from around the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have lost count of how many times I’ve shown someone a portrait I just took of them, and watched their face light up because they didn't realize how photogenic they actually were. Whether it’s a bride on her big day or a traveler I met five minutes ago, using my lens to help people see the best version of themselves is the most amazing feeling.

Teach, Learn, Share

Since I work professionally in media, I love helping travelers capture their trip perfectly.

• Photography: I know all the most "Instagrammable" spots in Dubai and Sharjah that tourists usually miss. If we hang out, I’m happy to snap some high-quality professional shots of you for your memories!

• Local Culture: I can show you the best places for authentic Arabic food or where to catch the best sunset skyline views.

• Stories: I’m always eager to hear about your life back home and your travel adventures.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I live in a peaceful area of Sharjah. My home is a chill, creative space where you can relax after a busy day of sightseeing. I treat my home as a sanctuary and love hosting people who bring good energy and interesting stories.
