Hey there!

I’m Zain, originally from Pakistan and currently a Swedish citizen living in Falun, Sweden. I’ve traveled to over 49 countries and love meeting people from all over the world. I believe the best way to understand a culture is by sharing a meal, a story, or a simple walk through a local street.

I’m an entrepreneur with a background in IT and digital media, and I currently run a restaurant and a study-abroad consultancy. I travel often with my wife and kids, but also enjoy solo adventures or short cultural stopovers (like my recent ones in Dubai, Singapore, and Morocco).

I love learning languages, exploring local food, helping fellow travelers, and listening to stories that never make it to the news.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet amazing people, experience places like a local, and offer the same hospitality I’ve received around the world. I’m not just looking for a free place to stay — I’m here to build connections and contribute to this generous global community.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love meaningful exchanges — and I’m always happy to share:
• 🥘 Delicious home-cooked Pakistani/Indian food — I run a restaurant in Sweden, so if you like spicy food, you’re in for a treat!
• 🌍 Travel stories from 49+ countries — from solo adventures to family road trips, I’ve collected stories, tips, and funny moments.
• 🇸🇪 Insights about life in Sweden — how to move, study, or settle here, especially if you’re curious about Nordic culture.
• 💻 Help with IT, websites, or social media — I have a background in tech and love helping people set up digital stuff.
• 🕌 Conversations about culture, faith, and traditions — I enjoy respectful discussions about different beliefs and perspectives.
• 📷 Travel photography and video tips — especially for beginners who want to document their journeys better.
• 🙌 Positive vibes and respect — I’m clean, responsible, and try to leave every space better than I found it.

If you’re ever in Sweden, I’d be happy to host you or show you around my beautiful little city of Falun 🇸🇪.
