About Me

Current mission:
Happiness live it and share it..

I hate writing about myself :D but I will try to make it short. I am currently living and working in south of italy for the past 3 years, before that I lived in Malaysia for 8 years. It was crazy to just leave everything behind and start all over in a new place, small town of south italy not knowing anyone there and not even able to speak a word of Italian, but that's what life all about ADVENTURE. Now looking back and i feel happy for making that move, i have met loads and loads of amazing ppl, and have had experiences that I will never forget.

​I believe that E​very trip—whether it's business, vacation or an exchange program —is always an education.​ ​understanding other cultures and collecting experiences through travel is an essential part of life and of a lifelong education. The further you get from what is familiar to you the more you’ll learn.

I was a member of AIESEC student network while I was in Malaysia and I am a memeber of Erasmus student network and CS here in Italy and that how i get to meet loads of ppl from all over the world :) , I love meeting new ppl from different countries learning about their culture and their FOOD:D I do love food soo much, whenever i travel somewhere i make sure to try all types of food that country has to offer. I like to smile sometimes for no reason, we say smile and life will smile back at you, laugh often, have fun, discover new places and new ways of life.

I never judge ppl on their nationality or religion, never draw conclusions based on what i hear from ppl. All ppl are equal regardless of their background we all share one common thing peace and love :D

Philosophy
Enjoy the Journey
So often we forget to take a step back and enjoy the day we’re having, the conversation we are engaged in, the moment we are enjoying with our family or friends. We are always so busy checking our phones for texts and emails that we forget to appreciate the good things that are happening right in front of us
In the words of Ernest Hemingway: “It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.”

Life lessons that we should keep in mind:
1-"Happiness Is Love, Full Stop."
2- Being Laid Back And Stress Free… Will Kill You.
3- Be Optimistic… With A Little Bit Of Worrying.
4-There Is Always Hope.
5-Live in the present, work for the future.
6- Never Stop learning.
7- Enjoy your family and friends before they are gone.
8- Slow down, enjoy the moment and savor the good things in life
9- ​Life is full surprises, so try to be your best self as an individual at every opportunity.
10- ​Pay attention as you go through life; The most valuable lessons come from the most unexpexted places in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like discovering and meeting new ppl, i did host many friends at my place and have always found a host in many places i travelled without even having a CS account just through networking and friends, now i would like to do it the CS way.

SOon i will move to a new apartment, then would be more easy for me to host ppl.

Interests

Many things get me interested :) number one is TRAVELLING especially a spontaneous travel just buying a ticket and leaving not knowing where you going to sleep or what you are going to do, i have done it few times and its super awesome. I like all kinds of travel, travelling on first class seat and staying in 5 star hotels or low cost flights and sleeping in 20 mixed dorms it's all FUN :)
Eating and trying different types of food is my hobby :D i like cooking inventing new dishes and just mixing things together.
I like to play different sport that could be anything but my favorite one is football, i also love doing adventures sports like mountain biking, trekking and anything that pumps a bit of adrenaline.
I love to ride my bike. There’s something special about being out on the road, all alone, with a simple piece of machinery, just to go nowhere/anywhere.
I enjoy nature so much, mountains, seas, forests. I do spend lots of my free time hanging out with nature:)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kinds of music no specific preference, only one type that i just get headache if i listen to is heavy metal music. Music preference is actually based on the mood, brain decides what's the right music in the right moment :D music work like magic to change my mood, whenever am pissed off or depressed few doses of music and am back smiling and dancing, listen to some music while jogging and i feel like running for miles. My favorite time to listen to music is while driving in good weather and amazing company :)
Movies: I Love watching movies on sundays specially when its cold outside :) for movies as well i like it all, i do prefer most the one based on true stories. I do have many favorites but i can mention 2 here: Pursuit of happiness & Brave heart.
