ABOUT ME

Hi guys. I am a student who likes poetry. I like to make new friends from any country, and couchsurfing is a great way to meet new people.
My dream hobby has yet to become: I want to learn Carnatic violin in South India. One random fact about myself: I suck at haggling! I almost always can only ask for a lower price once. :)

PHILOSOPHY

First we have to believe, and then we believe. - Martha Graham

"all the struggles are worth it when you learn, once and for all, how to stand on your own two feet."

"Islam began as something strange, so give glad tidings to strangers."
