About Me

I am one of those travelles who can walk around a new city or a place for the whole day and enjoy every second of it. Exploring new things gives me the boost in energy and simply makes me feel more alive.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I am travelling, it is always more interesting for me to meet local people and have fascinating conversations about their culture, their lifestyle, thoughts and ideas. I would also rather hear about the place I am visiting from a person who lives there than from a tourist guide.
When I am hosting, it is pretty much the same - I am very happy to have someone from another country, with a different background, to speak about anything and exhange travelling experience, local food recepies, favourite music and everything else. When a couchserfer is around it is always an event for me since it is something different from the everyday routine.

Interests

I work as an engineer in construction industry, so I enjoy exploring both ancient and modern architecture, or just urban environment in general.
I am also hooked on sporty lifestyle and cannot survive without exercising for more than two days. Exercising can also be in the form of dancing to House music all night :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all types of music, but my favourites woud be House Music and Hip Hop.

I enjoy watching all sorts of documentaries about nature, geography, technology, etc. I really like films that motivate me, some of them are: Warrior, Never Back Down, The Longest Yard.

I mostly read non-fiction books on certain topics or self-development, where I can learn something from it. However, I've read all the books in Hunger Games, Divergent, and The Maze Runner series, since I enjoy stories about dystopian world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Graduated with an engineering degree without going mental :D

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe people get the most of the knowledge and experience through sharing, communicating and teaching each other. Self-education is of course very important, but everything stays in our brain longer if we speak about it to other people or even look for a solution to a problem together. Couchserfing is a very good way to learn about new cultures and exchange thoughts and ideas with people from around the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hosts can expect me speaking about my travelling experience, about my life in Scotland and now here in Qatar, about healthy diet and lifestyle (if interested :P) and many more. If people are up for it I am more than happy to cook my favourite food to enjoy a meal together.
