Welcome to my profile!

About me:

A person who loves nature, rivers, waterfalls animals and birds, an open minded person.

A person who likes discovering new cultures, people, and old cities.

I enjoy walking while exploring new places and getting lost !

I like people with kind eyes, people who are genuine, and warm hearts.

I meet lots of people from all over the world during my travels/volunteer works and I got to know about Couchsurfing from another volunteer in the summer of 2015.

I love technology (to a certain point) and I am a big fan of superfast computers and weird inventions( I try to keep up with technology news ).

If you would like to play chess for fun or learn from each other let's go for it!

Q: Why did you decide to spend your money on travel?
A: My travels are journies to discover new places, meet new people, know the unknown. I can think of it as an investment in my self.

Q: What are you looking for?
A: I like natural pools and springs, nice local foods (even though I do not eat everything), looking to discover my self and have more awareness and knowledge about my self, and looking for specific people to connect with.

A: There is no one country favorite answer to that. Each place I have learned something new and each place have their own good and bad .

Q: Why are you on a plant based diet?

Q: Have you always been on a plant based diet? (Update, after two years of being on a strict plant based diet I stopped)
