About Me

CURRENT MISSION
I don't think the travel community is speaking up enough about this genocide on Palestine. As people who like to travel the globe, connect with local communities and give back, we can do better standing up against this brutal oppression and educating ourselves with accurate facts.

I'm redirecting my efforts into philanthropy and volunteer work now, and supporting the middle east how I can! Hoping to travel to the region (Lebanon, Syria, Turkey) in the new year and provide some aid however I can contribute.
__________________________________________

I'm a minimalist. I try not to get sucked into consumerism. I love the phrase " WE ARE A SOUL IN A BODY NOT A BODY WITH A SOUL". That phrase easily justifies how its easy to detach from things, and focus on experiences and actions that provide value to ones soul. (trying to to get to much into it) But basically things don't matter we're all going to die anyways.
__________________________________________
I'm just trying to see all the beauty and culture there is in this world, every corner of every country! I like taking photos so I enjoy exploring new areas and capturing beautiful memories.

I'm very easy going and fun, at least I'd like to think so ; ) I like to watch sunsets, walk around, and try new foods. My favourite thing is probably drinking coffees, and visiting different cafes, in every city.
I like exploring nature just as much, from laying in the grass to hiking beautiful places.

I'd love to see your city, and experience it from your lens and make great memories together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet new people, and make more memories. Learn from locals and get a more authentic experience of the cities. Its always nicer to experience things with other people as well, so the company is always great and it makes for a better memory.

Music, Movies, and Books

not sure what genre my music falls under, but I like artists like Isak Danielson, for King and Country, Saint Levant, its all over the place

My favourite movie is probably Pretty Women and Dilwale.I like a lot of Bollywood movies and romantic sappy stuff.
I've been trying to immerse myself into Arabic movies, books, and media because I'm trying to learn it and immersion is a great tool. And also to only consume educational content.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiked the west coast from Vancouver Canada to Tijuana Mexico
Paragliding in Morocco
Bungee jumping in Costa Rica
White water rafting in Ecuador

Worked in the most picturesque farm in France

Making friends around the globe. I think its quite amazing to say I have a friend in Morocco, another in Ecuador another in Mexico and so on.
