About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover!

ABOUT ME

Travelling is my passion. I love exploring new places, meeting new people and learning more about other cultures. This is the reason why I live and work in UAE now. Here you can meet pepople from all over the world!
I am easy going, adventurous and open to trying different things in my life.

PHILOSOPHY

We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.
Without new experiences, something inside of us sleeps. The sleeper must awaken.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate in CS gatherings and other CS activities.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed several travellers by showing them around Abu Dhabi, or just taking them somewhere for a drink/ dinner, helping them with advice. I also help those who are new in Abu Dhabi to meet new friends.

Interests

Sports activities like cross country skiing, ice skating, bicycling, badminton, yoga, aerobics, walking, ect. I feel as if I haven't brushed my teeth if don't do sports.
Dancing. I love SALSA and go for salsa classes regularly. Even if I am terribly tired I will not miss my salsa. I also take ballroom dance classes.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like different styles of music. However I have three favourite CD which I am never fed up with listening to in my car. It's Queen, Scorpions and ABBA.
The same with movies. I like different kinds of movies, mostly with a good story that makes you think. Or a nice action movie with good special effects. Or a nice romantic movie with a nice love story. Or a movie that keeps you tense till the end....
Books... I prefer books deep in meaning. I don't have any favourite writers. I've read so many books by Russian, English, American, French, German, Japaneese, Brazilian and many others writers. The talented writers are all over the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I swam in an ice hole when it was 10 degrees below zero outside. AMAZING experience!

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe that everyone is the author of his own life. It's only you who write your book of life. It's only you who make choices. If you want to be happy, be happy. If you want your life to be interesting, make it interesting. Everything is in your hands!
