I consider myself a conscious being above all other identities, but I am Kuwaiti, Indonesian, and American, I've been raised in Kuwait all of my life, I lived in Syracuse, NY for undergrad, and now I am living in Stavanger, Norway.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is the ideal opportunity for me to meet people and do what I love the most, which is ask questions and learn from people's experiences.

Interests

I love listening and writing, talking/discussing/arguing/philosophizing/channeling/chanting/singing, I create sound poetry. I love to dance (even though I'm not that great), experiment with the way I express my physical persona, and I actively participate in open-minded equality in all ways imaginable.
