LEAVING ITALY IN THE 18TH OF MARCH

Hey :) Sup?

My name is "Bader" (like "Worse"; get it?! 😅) yet also my name sounds like "Better" so I have the better and worse in me 😎.

I was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; raised in a very conservative and religious atmosphere which had influenced me to be religious in my early life (not really religious anymore 👹 I believe in love💅🏼).

Thanks to my parents, I was very much into science and innovation too; as both were outliers in their own fields. This had helped me progress in school and university with high performance and had shaped a rational mindset that questions every idea that I encounter.

At this stage of my life, what I have from my childhood is the passion for knowledge and being optimistic towards what life has in store for me. I enjoy knowledge in all of its forms, a new experience adds up to your knowledge. This drives me to travel to know people to read freely from the different fields to try new things... etc.

Few beliefs I have:

• Life is too short to care too much about social codes. I choose to free myself whenever I find social codes to be not reasonable.
• Stereotypes are put for people who are too lazy to deal with individuals case by case.
• Morality is what drives people to respect you; other than that is something else but ethics.

Some aspects of my character and personality:

• I'm tidy (in a freaky way like Monica in Friends).
• I care about my appearance and cloths.
• I think I'm funny! 😅 not really funny but I can be funny 🚶🏻

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

1- To make friends and expand my international network.
2- To be exposed to new cultures.
3- To be inspired by people.
