I never thought I would travel to Pakistan before I met Ameer. He convinced me to go after seeing all of his beautiful pictures of Pakistan, and I am truly grateful that I did. What an amazing trip! I don’t think I can say enough great things about Ameer as both a friend and trip leader, and I would recommend him a million times over. He is incredibly kind, accommodating, and just a wonderful person in general. He did everything - and I mean everything! - he could to make sure that I (and our other trip mate, Jai) felt comfortable and content. This meant things like finding stops with “English toilets” on our long car rides and asking the chef of the hotel to make me noodles (which of course were not on the regular menu). He continually made sure we saw every beautiful sight - from butterflies to ice capped mountains - and gave us so much information about all the places we visited. He also made sure to ask if we wanted our picture taken at any social-media worthy site. 😄 Not only that, but he gifted us with beautiful traditional Pakistani clothing which was so sweet and thoughtful. He truly gave me a once in a lifetime experience. I got to see some absolutely breath taking sights, take pictures with wild monkeys (but he made sure to tell me not to make direct eye contact and stay away for my safety 🤣), spend time with Pakistani friends eating and laughing by the fireplace, and visit the heritage museum where I learned about all the different cultures of Pakistan. I could tell that Ameer was so proud to show the beauty of his country, and I am so thankful I went out of my comfort zone to do this trip. SHUKRIYA, AMEER!! ♥️
