About Me

I'm living and working in Leipzig at the moment but kind of planning to spend some months in Central America soon. Cuba maybe and Mexico.

ABOUT ME

I'm a pretty extrovert & communicative person. I love to eat and drink, and dance (introvert german style :) ). and I like talking, especially in languages that I do not speak, like french. I studied arabic and computer sciences in Leipzig, where I still live and work now as a programmer. I live in a shared flat, spend my free time with friends or / and their kids.

I am interested in his(or her)story, politics and social sciences, used to be more active in civil initiatives against discrimination and racism in Leipzig & Germany. Also I'm a computer nerd and love to talk or fantasize about net culture and the future.

PHILOSOPHY

كن في الدنيا كأنك غريب أو عابر سبيل

Be in this world like a stranger, or a traveler on their way.
(saying of the prophet Muhammad)

I am not muslim, but I like the quote very much.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Acquiring & renovating a multistory building from the city of Leipzig and renovating it with a group of friends until we were able to move in. Learning how to do construction work, organize in a group, communicate and achieve your goals has been a valuable experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you the languages I speak + several programming languages, linux, networking security and IT in general.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversations, computer help, especially linux. languages and heated discussions about topics that I am interested in. Also I'm a really funny person that loves to bullshit around.
