Overview
About Me
I love art, traveling and meeting new people. Appreciating the little things in life, there are a lot of them and for that I'm grateful.
I spend a lot of my time focusing on working in film industry and learning cinematography and filmmaking, which is my primary focus now. I love consuming and creating all forms of art, dance and self-expression. I love exploring different cultures and peoples.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
When I travel, I like to truly experience life as a local. The everyday things, people, the unknown places, music, dance, food, adventure and the amazing good surprises that life offers when you explore the unknown. When I’m in my city I like to keep traveling and exploring.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Wadi Rum, Jordan
It was my first night of a spontaneous trip to Jordanian desert. I took a chance and it paid off. We were standing in the middle of the desert facing a large square shaped mountain that was split into two parts. We walked into the split for 40 minutes and found a tree growing out of an enormous rock which was split by the tree. The moon was full of light, the desert was peaceful, and every moment I spent there was magical.
