Hi! CS newbie here! I was born in Greece, raised in Iran, lived a rocking life in Malaysia getting my Master's, and finally ended up here with a work visa. I find experiencing various lifestyles, cultures, and meeting colorful ethnicity of people intriguing. I currently have a 8-5 job as a software developer and I'm planning to change it into a freelance job so I can live more freely!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to see, learn, experience, interact and grasp the joy of life (as corny as it sounds) while I can because life, as proven to me in multiple occasions, is really too short to be spent in a cubicle!

I have a roommate right now, but I'll be able to host again once I get my own place in a few months.

Interests

Android development, standup comedy, soccer, beach volleyball, badminton, ping pong, singing, songwriting, tequila, puzzle-based videogames (e.g. Braid, Portal), socializing next to the BBQ!

Music, Movies, and Books

Books -- I love dystopias. A few examples would be 1984, Animal farm, We, and Brave new world.

Music -- I'm more into progressive rock and metal but anything except rap is good in my book! I'm in an 'a cappella' band, performing every once in a while.

Movie -- Not a huge movie buff but a few would be: amelie, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, a separation, 50/50, toy story trilogy, the truman show, and southpark the movie.

Standups -- because that's how deep my love for standup is! George Carlin is my all time favorite, followed by other behemoths like Bill Hicks, Doug Stanhope, and to a lesser degree Louis CK, Bill Burr and Jim Jefferies.
