About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I dream of and live for a world where poverty, inequality, oppression and greed have places no more. I also want to Help spread the culture of minimalism and abandoning consumerism

ABOUT ME

I’m an ex civil engineer who worked miserably for two years and a half in Doha, Qatar. I hated my job and was so I decided to move to Italy for a master's degree in management engineering specialized in social innovation and sustainability of which I hold a degree now! I'm interested in minimalism, and abandoning irresponsible consumerism.

I love nature and our planet earth, I try to raise awareness about global issues as climate change through social media, I dream of a world where corporations and banks are in no control. A world of justice, compassion and empathy.

I want to travel the world, meet new souls, have meaningful conversations about life.

PHILOSOPHY

"Opinion is really the lowest form of human knowledge. It requires no accountability, no understanding. The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another’s world. It requires profound purpose larger than the self kind of understanding." —Bill Bullard

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because I like to travel on budget while meeting locals, hearing stories while creating my own.
