I am a normal 31 year old guy. Born and raised in Saudi Arabia, originally from Pakistan and now residing in the U.S. I'm currently pursing a Master's degree in Public Administration from University of Texas. I have traveled to nine different states in the U.S. Beside USA, I have traveled to Bahrain and Mexico. Of course Saudi Arabia and Pakistan too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couch surfing sounds to be a very interesting idea. Gives you an opportunity to make friends from random parts of the world. Which I also consider an opportunity to know about different cultures, practices and personalities. Also to be honest, like most of the students, I am really tight on budget too.

Interests

I love traveling and photography. My idea or love for travelling is not limited to big cities or epic landscapes. If I would get a chance to explore a state park a couple of hours away, I would go for that. Likewise, if I get to know about a ghost (abandoned) town situated somewhere like 20 hours away, I would try my level best to pay a visit there.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a perfect blend of different cultures. Born in Saudi Arabia, originally from Pakistan and residing in the United States. I can share my experiences, my culture and also some traditional food. I can also teach basic greetings and phrases of all four languages I know. As mentioned earlier, I am a hobbyist photographer, so you know what I mean :)
