I am Bisher :) I’d like to think of myself as an easygoing, open-minded and genuine person. I love travelling, cycling and reading.

I studied MSc Social Psychology, and I 've been involved in social and community development since 2010. I'm currently working on higher education access for refugees.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel because this pale blue dot called earth is immensely larger than myself, my country, my language and my culture. I travel because memories are immortal, humans aren't :)

I love to meet local people, hear new stories, see different perspectives, taste new food and get authentic experiences about the world's cultures.
