About Me

CURRENT MISSION

i want to save the world from itself....

ABOUT ME

well technically they'd say I am a funny, and easy going person. I think that people flock to me coz I make them laugh and forget their problems for awhile.

PHILOSOPHY

life is a matter of perspective

what you want to see is what you will see... i am a realist but not a pessimist... i still believe in luck and happy endings...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

can't host at the moment... but i can hang out....

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CS riyadh members arranged for me the following:
+trip to kingdom tower
+drive in the middle of a desert coz i haven't seen a camel yet, we went to a farm of camels!
+made me eat weird food.... which didn't give me stomach upset
+ had a chance to ride a sports car!
+taught me how to drive
+accompanied me through weird/old shops, in the middle of nowhere just to help me find tea/trinkets/souvenirs
+helped me get through the worst of my culture shock
+shared arab music with me

+++
and made me realize that there's still so much i haven't seen in my own country... i should've traveled around in it more... so i intend to do that as soon as i can...
