Overview
About Me
I'm open minded and pretty relaxed. I'm always up for an adventure or just a drink. I love to tell stories but I rather experience some new ones. I tend to talk about what I observe and I love to learn how other people see the world. I love to be surprised by ideas and perspectives. I have a laid back way of seeing things and I'm super interested in anyone who's up for sharing her/his story.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing is just awesome to meet brilliant like minded people. I love the social aspect of it and that it really brings people from everywhere together. I had the craziest experiences though this platform and I met so many interesting people for what I'm still grateful.
I can't really deal with the presenting part via this texting function though. I just don't dig the way you gotta shape your personality patching some characteristics together and decorating it with some photos. But then I don't know any other way how the system could work.
Interests
It is the easiest thing in this world to attract my attention because I'm just super curious about how everything works. I'm just intrigued so easily and probably sometimes disappointed and sometimes overwhelmed by what is going on if you are trying to focus on it.
But generally speaking I'm interested in any kind of art which can be music or film or video games of literature. I'm into politics, sports, dance, electronic music, some academic stuff about different religions works for me too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
In Algeria I've seen a school for people with disabilities in a refugee camp of the Western Sahara (which is by the way occupied by Marocco). This was a beautiful place where people were social because they wanted to be social. They wouldnt get anything. No selfish intentions and no certificate for the CV. That authentic goodness really inspired me at that point.
I taught languages for several years and did a lot of voluntary work in my life. Most of the time I was working with asylum seekers and disabled people. No bragging just to compensate the lack of single awesomeness - there is just too much going on
Teach, Learn, Share
I've got some crazy ass dance moves and some secret recipes in my pocket but I rather surprise and be surprised at that point :)
