CURRENT MISSION

I am just bouncing.

ABOUT ME

I finished up my masters and was working in Damman, Saudi Arabia as an educational consultant. At twenty-five years old, I was far too young to actually get a real job so why not move to Saudi Arabia? Left my job and started working as a writer. I am honestly up for anything and always curious to hear someone else's story.

PHILOSOPHY

After all, our lives are but a sequence of accidents - a clanking chain of chance events. A string of choices, casual or deliberate, which add up to that one big calamity we call life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'll definitely get you a drink if you let me stay with you! Really, I think this is a big trust exercise so do please ask any question you'd like. Couchsurfing proves that in one night people can become close friends despite cultural or religious differences, and that's a rather beautiful thing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

If you look at my references you'll see that I've had nothing but the most wonderful time. Most of the people I spent time with I speak to on a regular basis still.

Interests

Part of the fun of traveling is seeing the differing interpretations of all sorts of matters and seeing what sort of cultures exist beyond the consumerist culture. I suppose that's what I'm always seeking out.

• culture
• breakfast

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Golden Temple in Punjab and ate breakfast in Turkey. The second of those may sound unremarkable but you don't know what you're missing.
