CURRENT MISSION

Dutch Antilles or Brazil? BOTH.

ABOUT ME

I'm an energetic, yet thoughtful, sometimes outgoing, driven, people-watching Californian who has been known to get lost in deep pondering at the most inopportune times. I'm bi-racial (Iranian-Dutch American), culture appreciating. Just became a pharmacist and now living in the bay area. I love to meet people from all over the world to learn perspective, ask questions, and get immersed.

I fancy that I'd like to spend a summer just floating down a river on a raft with nothing but cheap sunglasses and a radio. I'm feline and canine friendly and enjoy incense and other particular lifestyle items (for example, have you heard of Lush?).

PHILOSOPHY

Give everyone a chance to be understood.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far so good.

Interests

Music, I play sitar, guitar, mandolin, drums, keyboard, bassoon, saxophone, and hopefully soon, the tin whistle! I also dance ballroom, mainly salsa...but also swing. By trade I am going to be a pharmacist...I love the ocean (hinterland areas), and understanding people's bonding to their homeland. I like warm genuine people. I sometimes space out and daydream that I'm a rock star. I like how I can spy on the world via Google Earth.
