About Me

CURRENT MISSION

For now working on my PhD in Limnology (Water quality and aquatic ecosystem studies) while working. I am adventurous, easygoing, love cooking, baking, dancing, biking, hiking and gardening. If i could choose something to do for the rest of my life and had enough money for it that would be traveling. Unfortunately, I have not been able to travel to many places mostly due to the cost and difficulties associated with obtaining visas. I love having guests!

ABOUT ME

They would say I am social, funny and open minded but also can be very serious :). I have no preference in friendship regarding the race and nationality. I respect to peoples' boundaries, beliefs and interests. I love to dance, drink occasionally and hanging out with friends, hiking, I love to make homemade wine and I wish I could have my own winery one day. I would name it "Donkey Awesome" as I have already done on my home-brew beer and my wine.
I am down to earth and try not hurt people.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat people the way you expect them to treat you! Mutual respect and having fun could go together if we want :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Now i am in Canada! I have lived in different places and met different people that's why I have an open mind to different point of views. I have experienced a diverse social life due to living abroad and spending many years in academy. I have close friends from Sweden, US,China,Switzerland, Mexico,Russia,Turkey,Spain, Ukraine, Belarus,Poland, Greece, Lebanon and Albania. I think living and studying in an international environment has made me more flexible and interested to other cultures.
