A multi-culturally exposed person. Being born in Emirates, spent 50% of my life in Sudan and 25% in Malaysia with most travelling exposure during my 15% life experience in Sweden.
With openness to experience and easy going personality, I developed a character which no longer sees itself typical to any of the norms of any of the places I've been to. So I usually joke and say I'm from planet earth 🌐

Commonly known with one of 3 names:
- Tage (with g pronounced as in give and e as é in café),
- it is often that I am called Taj (as in Taj Mahal), common within my international friends.
- Arabic (born) name is Mohamed.

My background is engineering and my mind is mostly occupied with random questions about understanding the psychology of myself, philosophy of ethics and knowledge, sociology of people, theology and how things work, and aspires to attain answers that satisfy them. This is probably why I developed a preference to be working in research and development environment. I love to make friends and human connections and I like to listen to people' experiences, cultures and adventures. I like to share knowledge and experience and tend to help especially when possible. This is probably why I liked Couchsurfing.

A nice friend of mine recommended it to me :)

I like liberal thinking and like 'Ubuntu' concept and minimalist lifestyle whenever possible.

Music, Movies, and Books

Not really a book reader, I do not know how I made it to Masters level :P
Nothing much ... But I generally like movies and TV series that have strategies and plots generally found in thrillers, crime, mystery, some action and adventure also works.
Poor taste of music. That makes me a little bit special ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
