About Me

I enjoy doing most physical activities but Ultimate Frisbee has been my love for the best years. Recently, Tennis and Jiu-Jitsu have taken my attention. I also enjoy learning languages (although admittedly I haven't done enough of it) as it is a good way to know the culture, I believe. I also haven't traveled as much as I'd like so that's the idea for the next few years. Eventually, visit/live in Spain (or some other hispanic country) and work in a coffee shop there :) But right now, Germany is my home and I'm loving it here.
Over the past year, I have been really into health and fitness, so if you want to teach me yoga or join you for any activity, I'd be more than happy to spend a few hours of my travel hours that way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Perhaps I don't travel enough to say I love traveling. But it is something that amazes me and fills me up with life every time I do! And the possibility that I could meet and learn from a local of the area, the culture and tidbits of the language; live like someone who belongs is something that I just can't pass up on. Neither is meeting someone who is just as lost. So, I guess the answer is that I just love a good story :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Definitely representing UAE for World Championships of Ultimate Frisbee - 10 years prior, I wouldn't have believed anyone who told me I'd be doing sports :D

Close behind would be cliff diving in Philippines considering I was terrified of water until a year prior :S
