About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To try out food and beverages from around the world!

ABOUT ME

I hate writing about myself, I never know what to say without sounding a bit self centered.

Anyway I'm spontaneous and always willing to socialize. I'm a "jack of all trades" because I love to learn new things, and an "ace of none" because I think it's best to leave things to the experts. Most of the time I'm willing to try anything once if it means no harm to others and I always appreciate a good debate. So yeah, that's pretty much all I can think of.

PHILOSOPHY

- Have fun as long as it aint at someone elses expense.
- Try everything atleast once. (well almost everything)
- My memory is as good as that of a gold fish. So, photos and souvenirs are a must.
- Each person has got a unique story to share. Take the time to listen.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well I wouldn't be a free loader, so when surfing I can offer tips and advice to budding photographers and film makers, even if it's just for personal projects. Also, I appreciate the fact that people are taking me in so I'll try my best not to take too much space and clean up after myself, but I guess that's a given..

I usually bring something from whatever country I'm in at the time for the host. Something small of course just as a token of appreciation.

For surfers I can offer a place to stay in Riyadh sometimes, and maybe count me in for transportation and hanging out. I don't check CS regularly so a week or two in advance would be good for me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I've had my eyes open up to precisely the kind of crowd I prefer to meet while abroad; Friendly, helpful, fun, carefree and spontaneous. Seriously, from China to Saudi Arabia, I always find people greeting me with arms wide open and showing me a good time anywhere I go, and I'm happy to do the same!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There's so much I've seen and done, but personally I can never forget having a cup of noodles during a light rain in Shanghai on the corner of a street. It was AMAZING.

You had to be there...
