Hey, I'm Hadin Bramana, but you can call me Hadin or Mello - that's the name that sticks when I'm out on my adventures! I'm the guy who thrives on a full-time happy-go-lucky vibe and hops around as a part-time explorer.

Right now, I'm diving into the world of master's studies at The University of Warwick, soaking up knowledge while also making every moment count by exploring the nooks and crannies of the UK. If there's one thing about me, I'm as versatile as they come, so chatting with me is like uncovering a box of surprises!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Eager to expand my horizons, I'm on a quest to connect with diverse souls from around the globe, seeking not only friendships but a tapestry of new experiences.

Through the lens of photography, amidst the beats of different music genres, and within the vibrant strokes of art, I aim to forge connections with international fellows. Exploring cultures and histories together, savoring bizarre experiences, and bonding over hospitality and unique cuisines.

I'm thrilled at the prospect of gaining friends who share passions and weaving new stories into the fabric of my life.

Interests

Immersing myself in the world of arts brings me unparalleled joy, whether it's exploring galleries or trying my hand at painting. Music is my constant companion, each melody unraveling a different story. Traveling isn't just a hobby; it's a passion that allows me to soak up diverse cultures and traditions, feeding my curiosity for the unknown. Delving into different cultures fuels my wanderlust, as I seek to unravel the unique tapestry of each place I visit. Trekking through mountains or forests invigorates my soul, connecting me to nature's raw beauty and serenity. And diving into the depths of the ocean is where I find peace, discovering the mesmerizing world beneath the waves, teeming with life and wonders.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first time I witnessed the Aurora Borealis, it felt surreal, like a dream materializing before my eyes. Another unforgettable moment was when a friend and I intervened to rescue a girl from a harrowing situation, preventing a potentially devastating incident on the road.

Teach, Learn, Share
