About Me

It's definitely hard to talk about yourself
Trying to know and travel as much as I can.
That's why I love books, movies, music, travel and different cultures of peoples
There is a quote from the author from Sudan: Tayeb Salih, (Season of Migration to the North) novel.
“I want to take my right from life by force, I want to give generously, I want love to overflow from my heart, so that it flows and bears fruit. There are many horizons that must be visited, there are fruits that must be plucked, many books to be read, and white pages in the record of life, on which I will write clear sentences in bold handwriting.”

Die Slowly" by Pablo Neruda

He who does not travel,
who does not read,
who does not listen to music,
who does not find grace in himself, dies slowly.
He who slowly destroys his own self-esteem,
who does not allow himself to be helped,
who spends days on end complaining about his own bad luck,
about the rain that never stops, dies slowly.
He who becomes the slave of habit,
who follows the same routes every day,
who never changes pace,
who does not risk and change the colour of his clothes,
who does not speak and does not experience, dies slowly.

“Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can’t practice any other virtue consistently.Courage lets one practice peace, kindness, and work for freedom. Poet and activist Maya Angelou

I liked this quote and agreed with it because it is true
It takes courage to be kind, despite the cruelty of the world.
Courage that you present something that is likely to be ridiculed, criticism and marginalization..
The courage to break the silence with an unsafe presence.
Courage that you love and you can love..
Courage to do the right thing, even if it doesn't make you likeable.
The courage to accept loneliness as a pleasant alternative to life with anyone and peace..
The courage to worship a hidden God is not apparent except as much as the purity of the heart is the effects of his benevolence..
The courage to accept scars as the inevitable price of embarking on the journey, to say at the end of the journey, “I loved my days.”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined here since 2015 because of my desire to travel and I was at that time working in a company as a routine work until I decided to quit and start my own business in something I love which is books and selling them
In 2019, I met two young people from a Facebook group who had the same desire to travel, and we planned everything together, flights and hotels, and we traveled for a month to Dubai, Turkey, Azerbaijan and Georgia
In February 2020, I decided to try traveling on my own and see what experience I would learn from it
So I traveled to Turkey and tried booking in airbnb , and I was supposed to go to netherlands and Austria, but the Corona epidemic came.
Until the airports reopened in 2021
After many attempts to travel, I went to Albania and experienced the hostel culture, especially there were many group activities in the nature of the country and the hikeing.
Now this is the first time in Europe and I want to visit more than one country and the cultural diversity is great and the languages and systems are different, there is nothing better than asking for help from the people of the country with the mentality of love for travel and travel.

I hate small talks. So much. Show me memes, tell me about your favorite movie, series, genre of music. Share ur favorite songs with me. Sing to me. Tell me about the book u have just read. Show me photos of memories you love and tell me about them. Tell me embarrassing stories and we’ll laugh about them together. Tell me about your ambitions, your fears, things you wanted to do when you reach a certain age. Educate me and and tell me about things I have never come across. Share ur philosophies with me. Tell me about that dream that walked u up in the middle of the night. Tell me about your feelings/thoughts throughout a day. Tell me about the day itself. Ask me for advice, maybe I could help ease something. Share your doubts, moments of uncertainty or basically rant about anything. Asking me “what are you doing?” isn’t a conversation I’d like to continue.
I just hate small talks.

Music, Movies, and Books

Do you know what my philosophy in life is?...is that you must laugh some time but also suffer a little...because that is the meaning of life.Woody Allen

What I Can Share with Hosts

The Prophet Muhammad said, “The most beloved of people to God is the most beneficial of them.”

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
— Maya Angelou
I always hope to be a light-hearted, cheerful and friendly person, at least to make people smile
