ABOUT ME

Hello, I am Shaiyan, and I really want to try out this couchsurfing thing, cos I think it's a great way to get to know interesting people from all around the world. A beautiful thing.

I think of myself as an open-minded and uncomplicated person, who gets along with all kinds of people. I studied law, but I am more interested in architecture and music. I like to have a laugh and thought provoking conversations every now and then don't hurt either. When life gets tough I have a cup of tea and things tend to fall back into perspective again.

PHILOSOPHY

Tea.

Interests
