Hi :)
My name is Mohammed and I'm a guy that loves learning about different cultures and histories and meeting new people. I used to go on many vacations with my family when I was little and that instilled a love of travel within me.

PHILOSOPHY
Be kind and try your hardest to do the right thing.
Try to leave a positive impact; whether it's on people, animals, places, or things.
Find joy in small things.
Believe that people are intrinsically good and that they like to help each other, sometimes you just need to give them some encouragement ;) so treat people in the way you would like to be treated.

Although it's impossible to sum up a person in a few paragraphs; here is a bit more about me:
I'm an introvert going against my nature and trying to make a lot of new friends.
I like to learn how things are made.
I love nature and greenery.
I like technology; movies and movie making; anime; video games; novels (especially fantasy); and riding bicycles.

I am a muslim so I don't eat pork or drink alcohol. I don’t smoke either.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

To meet new and interesting people and experience what the daily lives of people of different cultures is really like and to learn how to better myself and to gain a better understanding of what is truly valuable in my life.
