Currently in Istanbul, Turkey

Since August 2019, I'm living in Leuven, Belgium to do an engineering internship. Would love to meet new people in Belgium and Europe.

A 21 years Mechatronics Engineering student at the University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan. Interested in programming, electronics and product design. I'm also an active volunteer in my university where I organize workshops and competitions for Engineering and IT students.

Moreover, I love to read in literature of different cultures , I would love to write a novel one day after mastering writing skills and seeing more around the world.

I love travelling and meeting new people through the trips. I've traveled to many destinations since high school. My last trip was a 3 weeks journey around Turkey and I enjoyed working with cows in a dairy farm I found through Workaway.info platform.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Simply, I want to meet new people while travelling. Because although I'm interested in roaming alone through cities, hiking and visiting attractions, my first priority in travelling is making new friends from other cultures! my satisfaction in life comes mainly from knowing new individuals and exchanging the most valuable products of humanity; Knowledge, Experience and Feelings.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Working in a dairy farm in Cerkezkoy, Turkey in Summer 2018. I found the farm using workaway.info platform. It was a great experience where I enjoyed learning about cows (they are gorgeous creatures btw), milking and bottling process. Also I met a lot of awesome volunteers coming from different places around the world and shared great times with them.
