About Me

✨🔥🌋🎆✨Don't bother with messages if you have a purpose of dating .⛔️

I am a veterinarian who is in love with birds. Since I have a busy schedule, I prefer making the most of my free time by spending it for my hobbies meanwhile making friends worldwide as i believe it broaden my horizon and I gain greater understanding with each person I meet.
Some of my hobbies 👇
City explore, local foods, dancing, live music, museum/ art gallery crawls, outdoor sports (yoga,swimming, trekking, cycling, rowing, wall climbing, parkour, horse riding, traditional arching, mushroom foraging...)
I am respectful and considerate, excited to try new things, "why not?" kind of person. I am not a party animal and pub crawling is not my thing.
I prefer to eat fine, live well and feel good🙌🏻
If it fits your notion of fun, l am looking forward to hearing from you🥁🎷🎻

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy mingle with locals, gaining insight of their customs, listening stories and life-long passions. I am all about getting to know the heart and soul of a community. Fancy attractions mean nothing without stories and societies brought them to life. Most of the places I've been to were either for education or work, and that's what allowed me to truly dive into the culture. These are the moments that have left an indelible mark on me and shaped me who I am today. They're the memories I'll never forget.

Music, Movies, and Books

My holy book is "Women who Run with the Wolves."
My guide : "Life is an unfoldment, and the further we travel, the more truth we can comprehend. To understand the things that are at our door is the best preparation for understanding those that lie beyond." Hypatia

My music Eugenio Bennato - Che Il Mediterraneo Sia https://open.spotify.com/track/7MPOPmb2GcInulIlgqB6Hy?si=777fbf6026fa49ac
Also enjoy Roger Waters, Iggy Pop, Larkin Poe, Baxter Dury, Jesse Cook, Driss El Maloumi, Andre Rieu, Franco Battiato, Grup Yorum, Jehan Barbur, Nouvelle Vague, Mohsen Namjoo, Mabel Matiz, Mano Negra.

I find myself drawn to comedy gigs (Jeff "Big Daddy" Wayne-Spirit Animal).
One of my all-time favorite TV shows is "Would I Lie to You?" There's something about that passive-aggressive British sense of humor that tickles my fancy. Not fancy enough to be exposed though.:)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volunteering. I enthusiastically join various environment conservation efforts. It broadened my perspective and taught being proactive. Realized that being part of a community and connecting with people from different backgrounds boosts my energy and fills me with hope and passion🌞
I contemplate to participate a humanitarian aid work( a safe one for the beginning) If you have an idea, let me hear 👂
