Hi! :)
My name is Osama Elias Iftekhar and I am 25 years old. I am born and raised in Norway, as one of three kids. I have two sister, one younger and one older.

I have lived In Oslo for most of my life apart from one year in Bali and one year in London. In Bali I studied to become a Personal Trainer, and had one of my best years yet. While in London I worked fulltime for Oraacle, one of the biggest tech companies in the world. It is fair to say that I enjoy living in new places and met new people, whether they are colleagues, friends of friends or just new people I vibe with.

I love travelling, and have travelled been to all continents, and several countries in each. Most have been to experience new places, and some on either familiy vacation, alone or with friends.

In my free time I enjoy football, both playing and watching, movies such as Interstellar, Gladiator and V for Vendetta, reading books (currently Waking Gods by Sylvain Neuvel) and pay attention to the Startup scene.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since I travel quite a bit I rarely find the time to travel with friends, as they have other priorities and are not as spontaneous as me.

I would love to expand my network of friends that I cna share stories and interests with. Someone that I can learn the history of their country from. Someone that I can also give something back to.
