About Me

Hello people,

What draws you to a new place? The sites? Food? The weather?

Well for me its the people, in other words, you! I make it my mission to experience a place through the people and their view of the world. The more hospitable a person the more the experience improves for everyone.

As for myself, I'd say I'm a traveller who doesn't actually like travelling. I like the destination, did somebody say beach? But I dislike the bus rides for example.

As for travelling, I've ventured around various part of the world, but right now I'm keen to see as much of the Middle East as possible!

I hope that's enough about me for now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm new to Couchsurfing and so I'm keen to find out what its like!

I enjoy the idea of Coachsurfing because I would like to get to know the areas in which I visit, for me that means going beyond the tourist attracts and meeting the locals.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite music is a hard question to answer because I feel it limits me to only the music which I know . There is a lot of music for me left to discover. However, I do enjoy Bonobo and most electric chill and classical music.

Favorite films - Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

Books - Machiavelli's the Prince, Pluto's Republic, The Oxford History of Byzantium (Cyril Mango)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm not one to brag,

I prefer to live in the now and see the world. I love to write and I love to be around people who are open-minded and tolerant. I've spent way too much of my life around people who lack tolerance.

If you're tolerant then you're amazing, be proud of that :)
