I am completing my third year of Medical School and I am a teaching assistant of Neurology. It is exciting to learn how brains work and yet it gives birth to even more questions about what is consciousness and why people behave as they do.

Experiencing different cultures has made me reflect, introspect and examine my own life and ideas in a way much more profound than any philosophy book.

Another part of my life is volunteering with the homeless, motivating them and helping them with the big or the small stuffs they need. Most importantly hearing what they have to say.

I like to write the stories of the people I meet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mostly I want to practice the languages I speak or the ones I am learning. I am also curious about other cultures and I enjoy learning from other people.
