About Me

Hmmm~~ me! “I” dunno! all what I know about "me" is that I'm changing, growing and searching... trying to understand about myself and others, life and the reasons behind it and behind our behaviors! meeting different and interesting people from all over the world helps with that, but the best thing to know a bit about someone is to meet them in person, to see their eyes while you talk to them and have a conversation full of questions and curiosity! so asking me direct questions, that's if you'd like to know something about me; is the easiest way!
peace

BELIEVE IN
many things like:
- life is not worth it, but friends are :)
- don't worry too much, we could all die now!
- do not ask questions you don't want to hear/care about their answers!
- as you'll give, you'll get.
- go out of yourself, you'll see it better
- no judgments (but people do because it's easier than to get to really know what's going on with others)
- equality
- laws made for rich people!
- history is fake.
- people's histories and stories have a lot to learn from
- we should stop watching TV
- music
-art
- mind power
- there's something connects everything, but what it is? what is it?
...

DON'T BELIEVE IN
-nationalism
-gods
-wars
-governments
...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a fantastic idea to get to know cool and interesting people from all over.

Interests

playing chess, darts, cooking, bicycling, chatting with cool and intellectual people about whatever shit going on in the world, to get to know individuals' histories (that will never be written in books) reading, music, learning new things and skills (photography, drums, ping pong, rock climbing, dancing...) trying, reading about, consuming, and understanding the science of the healthy stuff that can reverse diseases, trying to keep alive, to get to try more things and understand more about life, people , myself and why we're here and why when we're almost there, we won't be there anymore!...

Music, Movies, and Books

hmmm~ a lot!
Movies: basicly i LOOOOve movies, all genres BUT the cheesy romantic and horror ones!
a few to name; the shawshank redemption, beautiful mind, american beauty, the others, cast away, rain man, Seven, Leon, Hannibal; the silence of the lambs, god father, the sixth sense, Sam, forrest gump, ET, artificial intelligence, the cabin in the woods, the hunger game, Interview with the Vampire, catch me if you can, Matilda, ...
Dramas/sitcoms: (I don't watch TV, so I get whatever dramas I hear it's good and watch it all together on my computer when i get time) friends, scrubs, Leo, black mirror, black book, IT crowed, Dexter, breaking bad, game of thrones...
all animated movies (yes, all of them especially the Japanese ones), most short movies from all over (especially fallen art, that'd be my favorite so far)... some documentary movies (especially historical ones) ... hmm~~ it'll take forever, so i'll keep updating every chance i get.
Books: most poetry books, fictions, Psychology (I admire Freud), philosophy (Sophy's world was my first philosophical love when i was young! lol) and I'm a big fan of audiobooks! (try: www.booksshouldbefree.com)...

Music: everything! but a few to name: the cure, Muse, Bjork (I LOOOOOve her), traditional music from all over (Mongolian music...) , the Beatles, Tom waits, Fayruz, radiohead (creep, especially), keane, dasha Rush, Mona, black angels, some of Adele's, sometimes if in the mood I listen to classics...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

it depends on what everyone considers as "amazing"! well, was amazing for me to cycle over 240 kilometers in 2 days just right after i learned how to ride a bicycle and half of the trip was on the road with cars (no bike lanes!) and high ways (I got caught on one by the Korean police! Lol) I did not die! lol (from gwangju to Mukpo and back to gwangju again, in S.Korea )
Was amazing for me to know that I love exploring caves so much to the degree that I went too deep with one headlamp in one of the biggest caves in Laos, get lost inside, took about 4 hours to find an exit and was slippery, full of deadly spiders, scary and so more and I didn’t die!
was amazing (and funny) to think that i cracked Emily Dickinson dashes' code, while everyone else thought/still thinking that i'm just crazy! lol
it's amazing that i'm still managing to keep alive in this world that filled was wars, killing, injustice, poverty, diseases, natural and mankind-made disasters... etc

Teach, Learn, Share

i can teach you how to play chess if you’re a beginner! Arabic, Arabic calligraphy, tell you about Korean culture and society as well as Egyptian...
I’m an expert of teaching how to be messy and think about more important stuff than washing the dishes (yes, i hate washing the dishes)! lol
some ideas about our powerful mind and energy and how to lose them if you wish! i dunno; as much as the conversations/activities will take us, we'll share our experiences and opinions of life and all!
p.s. I can share doing the dishes! lol
Oh! Recently I learned how to eat, so I can teach that as well ^_~
