About Me

I am a human who has yet to find out where he should be and what to do.
I love exploring the alternative scenes of countries, getting an idea of its real popular life and experience it. I don't like to be identified as a "tourist."
Things I hate most: visas (and borders), racism, capitalism, and sweet potato boiled in orange juice (yes it exists).
Things I am addicted to: people, good food, and smashing injustice.
Things I highly value: wittiness, passion, respect and kindness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Simple:
1- I love travelling and exploring countries
2- I like exploring people more than places
3- I don't like to be "served" at luxurious hotels
4- I am not rich, and I'm trying to navigate with whatever is there

Music, Movies, and Books

All kinds of music that express things (not Bieber, Swift or Minaj). I have passion for rap and hiphop that is both poetic and social conscious.

I mostly read non-fiction (so far at least). My two favourite fiction novels are The Dispossessed (YOU GOTTA READ THIS ONE) and O Brave New World (kind of classic i guess).

Series: Black mirror, GOT, HoC, Sherlock, Prison Break and Mr. Robot.
Movies: City of God, The Shawshank Redemption, Fight Club, The Imitation Game, A Beautiful Mind, The Green Mile etc..
