I am a trauma-informed counsellor and educator. My life is my job and my job is my life and I love it. I learnt that if I want to grow I must go out far and beyond. I have been travelling since I was in college. I went to India and realized after I came back home that I never want to stay my whole life in one place. There's so much to see, a lot of people left unmet and mountains remain unclimbed.. i never had a stable life because I always quit my job and go away. I am not looking for a career as much as I'm looking to really feel alive.. and I realized that through moving around to new places is what fulfills this feeling. My life is always on the move literally and figuratively. It has its ups and downs as you are always leaving loved ones in some places where strangers become loved ones but maybe you have to compromise sometimes. Nothing/ noone has made me want to stay in one place for the rest of my life... yet.

I love meeting strangers on buses, trams, trains and those who are also travelling on the road. Striking up conversations with random people and ending up being connected through a shared interest or passion regardless of one's ethnicity is something that really fascinates me but the worst part is leaving those strangers and each one of us goes our separate ways.

P.S: Dear Egyptian man, don't send me messages to hang out with you. We dont do that here.

ABOUT ME

I'm a random passer-by in a world with an expiry date, I have been stung by the travel bug, I I like to know the stories of people, I like observing and listening to deep intellectual conversations.

I love people with depth and a sense of humor. I am a coffee-addict and a book-worm and my life is going in an unknown direction and I'm loving every bit of the mystery.

PHILOSOPHY

Always make 70 excuses for people if you see them doing something wrong, because there's a story behind each person, they werent born this way, to be compassionate and loving, to always think good of everyone and to love for people what you love for yourself, to lighten's someone's burden, we're all one family on this earth, no one is a stranger, and I cant wait to meet the billions of earthlings on this planet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe this is an amazing place to interact with someone different than you so that you can learn something from them because everyone you will ever meet knows something you don't!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I slept in a coffin underground like witnessing how it was like to be dead. It wasn't actually amazing. Maybe when we meet I can tell you how it felt like.
