I am araz, I am an easygoing person who enjoy simple things in life:) like gazing the sunrise and staring the moonlight at night and listening the music in the silence. Besides, I love science and all the science related things. That is why I love to watch science fiction movies which makes you think and question the reality. I also enjoy reading sci-fi books which expand your vision about future and of course sci-fi series which have mind-blowing scenarios, leave me speechless. Most of the time, I try to set several goals to myself, actually nowadays, one of them is programming, to learn and implement it properly in practical tools and learning French. In addition to all the science and nerdy things, I love music, I enjoy listening to all the versions of jazz music like Swing which includes a lot of improvisation and I like the way jazz players express themselves. Sometimes, I enjoy smooth jazz which encourage me to read books or sit there silently and drink something :). Yeah, I like other types of music like pop, classical or sometimes rock, rap but not as much as jazz music. As a sports activity, I love swimming, free diving and hiking. Actually, these activities help to heal inner self and to motivate.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

First, I was introduced to the couchsurfing by Natalia Narskaya who was an experienced traveler and surfer, I came across with her by accident and further conversation with her made me to be interested with the couchsurfing.
And also the further reason why I am couchsurfing because I want to travel and to see the beauty of all the cultures, people and nature. Actually, as the Paulo Coelho said in “The Alchemist”:
“We are travelers on a cosmic journey, stardust, swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in eternity.”
