Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel is an inspiration. Since I've left my homeland and started to travel I realized how wonderful the world is, while traveling you get learn different cultures, traditions and most importantly cuisines. Couchsurfing is an impressive network that facilitates travel and through it you have the chance to meet locals and make lifelong friends;)

Interests

I used to be a crazy fan of football, playing and watching, however things change by day. I had to give up on football because of critical injury I had in my ankle. Currently, I do swimming as an alternative and also because I love it. In addition to that, I love reading, its a basic thing in my daily life as the first word written in the holy book of Quran is "READ".
