Welcome! I am Raafat I live in Netherlands. I love Travelling, collecting and sharing stories and Couchsurfing is a wonderful medium to get in touch with storytellers. I'm open minded and tolerant, but I also have some outspoken opinions. I'm mostly cheerful and I try to make the most out of the short life we have here on this planet.

I love to meet different people and hear about their life. To me, a meeting is most fulfilling when it is a mutual exchange of ideas and views. I like people who are passionate about their own interests and who are also open to new knowledge and new perspectives. I am allergic to arrogance.

PHILOSOPHY

There's no ultimate truth, just different convictions.

There is only one 'successful life': leading the life the way you want it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a wonderful medium to meet people you wouldn’t come across without the help of the website. However, I think that CS is not always used how it was intended, when it was 'invented'. To me, CS is not about saving as much as possible cash money on accommodation. It is about interaction, sharing valuable ideas and broadening your horizon. I like to meet people who are looking for an encounter in the first place, rather than just a bed for free

Teach, Learn, Share
