About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Following my passion

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently too busy / committed to travel much for my own enjoyment, but I still love to host when I can.
I enjoy meeting folk from around the world. I also want to boast my karma by being a good host and offering kindness to a stranger.

A Persian friend of mine once told me that 'A guest is a gift from God'. I also seen translated as ' The guest is God's friend'.
