ABOUT ME
I'm a open minded person who loves to meet new people and explore different and new places. I don't like to stay and live in my comfort zone, so I like to push myself to take on challenges and any opportunities that come my way.
I love to surround myself with people and get to know them. I think traveling gives you a great chance to do that and at the same time you get to see some of the best places in the world.
I am a adventures and outdoors person who loves to be active and have a great sense and appreciation for the nature. I think backpacking and traveling gives me the opportunity to grow as a person and helps me to reflect as I get to know different types of people and places.
My motto is : Do it NOW! Sometimes 'LateR becomes 'NeveR' .
PHILOSOPHY
"When life's road has pot holes and speed bumps......... It makes you a better driver."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am a newly, fresh couch surfing member.
I am currently a teacher in Dubai and would love to experience as many places and all different types of people and cultures while I am here.
I have heard some good stories from people that use couch surfing regular and their experiences was positive and interesting. Where they have met some amazing new people and exchange their cultures with each other. I think this is a great way to travel and meet new people with different cultures in a affordable and reasonable way.
Interests
I love any types of sports and outdoor life. I have played field hockey since I was 8 and enjoyed it a lot.
Socializing with friends is also something I love to do.
Hiking and backpacking is something that interest me a lot recently.
