Hello there, I am Abdullah,

I grew up in Canada and have lived my entire life in Canada.

I'd describe myself as, ambitious, confident, tolerant, understanding, happy, light-hearted, very motivated, intelligent, laid back, driven and a little bit of shy. Yes, I'm also good at contradicting myself!

I would first of all enjoy meeting new people on CS, and have the slightly optimistic viewpoint that at the end of the day we're all far more alike than we often admit. I actually enjoy participating in communities like CS as every new connection breaks down another barrier in this world.

However, I like searching for deep meaning from critical thinkers, philosophy, theories, books. I really want to learn how people around the world perceive this world practically and abstractly. I am open minded and I always strive for success to learn new things so I can become more broadminded. I'm easy-going and accepting of all kinds of differences about people. I'm well behaved, respectful and have a positive character. I'm a pleasant trustful person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well I am very new to couchsurfing and I don't have any experience, but I would love to gain experience asap. I can't believe that couchsurfing really existed and I was so dum before and now I am extremely happy on CS that I can also meet new people from different cultures/traditions and have a meaningful discussion with them. I clearly need to get out and see the world as soon as possible.

Interests

I like reading books, critical thinking, history, literature, culture, listening to music, new places and meeting new people, playing badminton, exploring (either cities or National Parks), playing Frisbee, cooking, learning something new (e.g., currently I am learning Russian), sipping coffee, and having deep critical and meaningful discussions with people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well I was born into this world! what else could I've done more special.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some great stuff about my culture and also I can teach you some English and my mother language too.
Try to Never say NO to something or if you disagree with an opinion until you give whatever it is a chance. Sometimes we just tend to ignore or avoid that which we do not understand because it makes us feel "uncomfortable". Things that are foreign to us are not necessarily wrong, but they are just different. In order to learn, you just need to say yes once in a while, listen attentively and longer, and ask questions, otherwise you will be doing a great injustice to yourself and to others.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am good company (I think so anyways!) and love to visit and chat!
