I guess I will break this section down into 2 parts; my hobbies and who I am, and what I do.

I am 24 years old, and I have a master’s in business, a minor in mechanical engineering and a minor in biology. I was born in Dubai, and moved to the states when I was 4. I am currently living in New York (Long Island to be exact). I do love to travel, but I have been occupied with school and work so I do not get the chance to travel as often as I should, but when I do I go to Dubai for personal vacations as well as business ventures. I would say I am an outdoorsy person just as much as I am a “homebody.” I do love the outdoors, especially taking road trips to scenic areas. Something about those types of trips/ views takes your stress away, lets you escape for a few given moments, and shows you the beauty the world has to offer. I also like spontaneous trips, even if it is just to go by one of the beaches on Long Island; I think they make the best memories. I do love cars, and have been working on them as a hobby since I could remember. I often race at the local tracks (when I get time that is). I am a big foodie and love trying new foods, but who doesn’t? Oh and deep conversations are the best! My personality in a few words could be summed up as motivated, ambitious yet humble. I never forget my roots and where I came from and where I started.
So I guess that is me in a nutshell, I think..

I am glad that you read this far. So you are probably wondering what do I do to be where I am at the age that I am. I can save the stories for if and when you are interested in knowing and reaching out to me, but to keep it short and simple, I am involved in quite a diverse field of business interests including cars, technology, public services, medical, finance and e-commerce. So again, in a nutshell I would say that I am a business owner with a diverse portfolio.

Oh and my thought process consists of something like this, which is also one of my favorite quotes (long quote I guess haha):
"Do not think inside the box, as you are trapped within certain limits/parameters. Do not think outside of the box, as you may wander away and never return. Do think around the box; you are within the reach of humane parameters, but you can always drift away to the infinite possibilities that are instilled in your mind, and yet still return to the safety of life." - Me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on here because I love making new friends, new connects, etc. You never know when someone can help you or even be there for you. I don't have much as far as my accommodations, but I figure what I have might just be what someone in need is looking for. Hope that makes sense!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every year during the holidays I hold a toy drive for all the less fortunate kids, and a thanksgiving dinner for the homeless/ less fortunate as well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Mi casa su casa. (My house is your house)..even though it technically isn't a house. I am open to sharing whatever I have here as long as the person(s) is/are respectful of what I have and can clean up after themselves. I have internet, a TV with Netflix, and some other goodies. (Oh and the place may or may not turn into a mini private club at night lol)
