Hi, I'm Amin from Melbourne. I'm a scientist who is passionate about art and literature. I've been told that I'm relaxed and laid back.

I love exploring my surroundings and connecting to Nature. Love walking in city or go for hikes or camping.

I like to meet interesting people and share experiences. I'm happy to host intersting CSers depending on my schedule and availability (I work full time).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To know new people and new cultures. Every person is a unique story, and a unique opportunity to know more!

I love listening to people's tales/stories and tell them mine over a fine beer.

Interests

I love any sort of intelligent conversation. The range of things that I'm interested in varies from complicated things like philosophy of existence to more complicated things like why aren't blueberries blue?!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
-- I'm good at baking. I think my bread is better than most --if not all ;) -- of those you find in the supermarkets.
-- I'm also ok at making yoghurt :)

-- I did a PhD on social networks analysis and used to teach artificial intelligence. That means I have a good background to discuss things like 'Is singularity (robots taking over the world) near?', or 'Is Black Mirror (the TV show) relevant?'

Learn:
-- I'm open to learn any cool thing.

Share:
-- Sharing is caring!

What I Can Share with Hosts
