About Me

Trying to get the drift of solo traveling

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend suggested it, when I was planning my solo on a shoe string budget. Then I requested to stay at someone's place while at the trip, but didn't end up going to that part of the town, but this person still guided me about other local places to visit and stay. And we're still internet friends!

Interests

Free soul trapped in an ultra conservative society until recently, am foraging my own path to achieve a self fulfilling level of my own identity. Bedroom singer (since I stay solo), Voracious reader, astute observer, left wing follower, mental health propogator, solo traveller, bad cooker of food (but I've a kitchen, so you're free to cook for both of us😛)! I love deep meaningful conversations, and learning about what makes people connect!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is mostly Sufi /classic Rock. Ed Sheeran / Coldplay / Lucky Ali / Raman songs
Books have to be fiction. I got enough reality of my own to deal with. Currently devouring Harry Potter series for the first time, since my conservative upbringing didn't allow 'Satanist' material. Favorite authors are Keigo Higashino / Dennis Lehane / Steig Larrson and Thomas Harris.
All non commercial, non formula, good story telling world movies. Love Iranian and Korean movies. Other than that, psychological thrillers are my favorite genre.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recited a piece of poetry I wrote in front of 150 people. Naturally, I forgot half the lines.

Teach, Learn, Share

Interested in learning to play the Ukulele.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Fun conversations, modest sleeping quarters, and maybe go sightseeing around my favorite city!
