Hello! I am Meer. I recently graduated from UT Dallas in 2015 with a B.S. in Biology. I am hungry to see the corners of the world separate from the frantic urban capital centres and more towards the culturally distinct areas. I love to learn - from gastronomy and nanoscience to painting and music. I knew when I was a young teenager that I wanted to experience everything a human could - no matter how positive or unpleasant.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A recent family loss has sparked a light in me to further see the world having seen the fragility of a human life. I want to connect with people of varying personalities and ages and learn what I can from the short time we spend together.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I was in the radio station of my university so I love exploring an eclectic variety of music.
Movies: I love the classics of Godard and Kieslowski to the modern works of Christopher Nolan and Quentin Tarantino.
Books: I love informative ones and read a fictional book sometimes

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived on an U.S. Army Base in Guam when I was 4 years old as a refugee. I guess that's not 'amazing'...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make some authentic Kurdish and Mediterranean dishes. I want to learn about all of the skills that you have to offer, the stories that you have to tell and share the communal feeling of humanity.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversations about arts, science, and almost anything in between. It helps to be a reader of all genres :)
