About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To spread Sabich all over the world. Look it up, or just message me.

ABOUT ME

I have two legs, two arms, two eyes, two ears, and one nose. I usually walk on both my legs, upright, and use my hands to carry things. I use my mouth also for eating, breathing, and talking. My nose I usually use for smelling. Ok, if you've got this far then you probably know that I am a very serious person, and I have no sense of humour.

PHILOSOPHY

If you smile every day for 100 years you will live long.

Interests

Camels. I love camels. But also, I love to cook, I write a bit, and not just on descriptions of couchsurfing, I like to hike, drink, laugh, but mostly I like to meet new people. I also like old people, I am not ageist, but it's always nice to meet new ones as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being born. Because life is amazing.

The secret to making good hummus:
Take a bag of bulgarian chickpeas (thats the small ones) and let it soak in water overnight. Afterwards, wash the chickpeas two or three times, and cook in water for two or three hours or until they are soft like butter. You can add a spoon of sodium bicarbonate to make the cooking easier. While cooking, collect the foam that forms on the top of the water and throw it out. And very important: DONT ADD SALT TO THE WATER!!!! This makes the chickpeas hard. After the chickpeas are soft, take them out of the water, but keep the water itself. Now throw them into the blender with a few ice cubes (this gives them a good texture) and start blending. Slowly add olive oil and the cooking water while blending until the hummus becomes creamy. For every one part of olive oil put 3 parts of water. I dont exactly know measurments because i never measure when cooking. I just do it by feeling, so try a few times and you will get the feeling of it also. Now add a few cloves of crushed garlic, juice from one or two lemons, some tahini (again, dont know measurement but if i had to guess i would say half a cup maybe less) and salt to taste. Some people add a spoon of cumin also, but i personally prefer not to, but this is a matter of taste. If the hummus is too thick add some more of the cooking water. But then again, some people like the hummus thick, so again its a question of taste. Choose which texture you prefer, and enjoy!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A toothbrush, but I don't recommend it so you should probably bring your own.
