Hello couchsurfers!

I’m kinda new here and haven’t used this app before and that might explain why my profile lacks organization and some information, but I’d be happy to answer any questions you have!

I recently graduated from the Academy of Art University with BFA in Animation and VFX. I’m taking a break from directing my short 2D animation film.
I’m born and raised in Saudi Arabia and my parents are originally from Uzbekistan.

Currently doing a road trip traveling around the US exploring what each city has to offer to decided what I wanna do next in life and where I’d like to move to. Been in SF Bay Area for 6 years and I think I wanna start a new chapter somewhere else.

I’ve read The Alchemist in my teens and since then I wanted to travel around searching for my inner treasure.

I'm an easy going quite person who enjoys talking about filmmaking, animation, culture, metal, games, literature, philosophy, mythology and adventures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To enjoy new experiences that normal tourists don’t get to experience. I like meeting people from all around the world learning about their culture and history. As a storyteller, I believe stories have the power to connect us together.

I love whatever Neil Gaiman writes.
Scandinavian culture and myths.
