ABOUT ME

I moved to Afghanistan in May 2009 to work with a humanitarian organization.

PHILOSOPHY

Live with no regrets

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately, I can't host CSers due to the security restrictions at our compound but I'm happy to meet up for anyone passing through Kabul.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've done a ton of CSing while living and traveling in Europe for a year and everyone was wonderful, hospitable and fun.

Interests

Obviously, I like traveling but I especially love living abroad and exploring the region more in depth...I guess it's the anthropologist in me. My style of tourism is wandering the streets, hanging out in cafes and people watching. Also I love food, dancing, reading, films and will try almost anything.
