I am an expat in Dubai, living single in my flat, in the beautiful and vibrant Dubai Marina. Living in Dubai for 6+ years and engaging in corporate life as a marketeer for 12+ years, I am trying to enjoy my time that I can spare from work. Dubai is always offering something new so we can explore this beautiful city together!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Cause I like new cultures, meeting new people and sincere chat over a glass of a prosecco.

Interests

Like to have drinks outside with friends. I am also kinda geeky and interested in technology, mobile applications, web site building. I am very interested in productivity and life hacks and try to manage my life in the most optimum level. I play tennis and workout.

My house is somewhat smart at a level of auto-opening lights, a scheduled toaster, coffee machine and a smart kettle. I love to automate things and spend my valuable time on fun things rather than getting up from my couch just to boil some water 😉

I am a columnist at Harvard Business Review Blog and love to write stuff from business to marketing or relationships.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am into George Orwell books: Animal Farm and 1984 are my favourites. I also like business books like Outliers, Buyology, Tipping Point. I love reading books that make me think about life and world so Sapiens by Harari is also one of my favorites.

I have a wide range of playlists, songs being hand-picked by myself, for every type of mood am in, be it some nice smooth jazz tunes on a Saturday breakfast or some deep house, heating beats right before diving in to the crazy nights of Dubai.

Not a big fan of movies but Netflix, Amazon Prime and Apple TV are available at home for my guests :)
