An avid reader, podcast consumer, movie lover and a photographer. I enjoy learning about the multidisciplinary ideas emerging from the intersection of human cognitive psychology, economics and computer science. I also love learning about other people, their stories, culture, and traditions.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

My wife and I left our jobs late April and had decided to travel for summer 2017. It was a difficult decision, but we all get to live only once.

We both agree that meeting local people is the best way to learn about new cultures, people, have a fresh perspective of the world and also share our experience with them.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I once jumped out of an airplane at 14000 feet while cruising in clouds. After 30 seconds of free fall, I reached the maximum speed of 236 KM/Hour. My free fall was so euphoric and invigorating that I wish I could do it every morning before I start my day.

I also bungee jumped from a 200 ft platform towards a lake and experienced a 160 ft rebound. It was the scariest experience of my life.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I love to learn about other people, their culture, language, food, and traditions. I would like to listen to their stories, share mind and make a connection. A conversation can sometimes change our path and mindset forever.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

Everyone's life story is unique with ups and down. I believe we can all learn a lesson or two by listening to others stories. And I'd love to share my life story, my passions, ideas and thoughts on all kinds of topics.

I also love to open a new window to cultures that I am learning about through mediums such as photos and videos. I share some of them here: https://www.instagram.com/kamalboorghani/
