My name is Khalid and I am currently on a world trip for the whole of 2017. I am mostly an introvert, but with the right people I am extremely extroverted. My whole life, before this trip was dedicated to understanding myself. So I spent a lot of time meditating, reading, and writing to try and better understand the internal workings of being human. I started this trip so that I could focus more on relationships and my connection with other human beings. Naturally I love talking about bigger picture ideas, but this trip has already taught me how to shoot the shit and just talk nonsense while having fun. I learned its not always what you talk about that determines the quality of time spent, but also who you're talking to.
I want to learn as much as I can from this year from as many people as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on CS mostly because I want to travel for a whole year meeting cool and interesting people who I can call my friends. People who are on CS, I already know are genuine kindhearted people who are seeking genuine humans to have interactions with, and to extend their kindness to. I hope to meet some of you soon.

Music, Movies, and Books

I mainly listen to vocal deep house.
I used to enjoy sci-fi and fantasy when I was growing up, but now I mainly read non fiction, mostly self improvement.
I dont like horror films, but all others I can enjoy.
