Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Becoming a Digital Nomad.
ABOUT ME
I enjoy a nomadic lifestyle. Born and raised in Kurdistan, arrived in Europe as a refugee. I spent over a decade in Austria, where I studied, worked, and eventually obtained Austrian-EU citizenship. Based in England. I have a deep passion for poetry and all forms of art. Traveling and books are integral parts of my life. Additionally, I am a skilled cook.
PHILOSOPHY
Be Aladdin on his flying carpet!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
To host (to surf at), to take care of, to learn from, and above all to have fun with an unknown person is not a brilliant idea?!
Couchsurfing taught me to say, ''Thanks for your stories''.
Interests
The nomad-style of life and some aspects of Buddhism grab my attention.
Art, theatre and poetry.
Music, Movies, and Books
Especially Jazz music, Iranian Traditional (Sufi) music.
Literary fiction/fantasy type of movies, e.g. ''Wild Flowers'' by F.A. Brabec, Psychological movies ''Four Minutes'' by Chris Kraus, feminist movies ''The Hours''.
Greek mythology.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
As a war refugee, I embarked on a perilous three-month journey, crossing many borders illegally with the help of human smugglers. Despite the danger and hardship, the experience was uniquely transformative, revealing one’s inner strength and resilience.
