About me

Hey to all guys and girls, women and men, the ambitious and motivated travelers and also hey to the lost spirits that wanders around us, myself included
I'm a 25 year healthy young man from Sweden. My travels will start from Costa Rica and from there I'll try to go as much with the flow as possible. I feel like I'm a good hearted, respectful person who loves to learn and experience contrast between what I've seen and what I've done
I'll try to tell you a bit about myself without taking too long and without confusing you
My family's from Iraq but I grew up in Sweden. I was born in Russia but we arrived in Sweden when I was at the age of 1. Growing up we didn't have much, first generation immigrants from Iraq coming to a completely new continent. But we managed to get by, fortunately for us we were located in Sweden where it actually is possible to create something out of nothing
This experience of my life affected me deeply since I never really got the sense of a true home and a true calm inside. We was always moving, always changing friends and always changing scenery
At the same time it's taught me that I'm way stronger than I think I am. When I do need to, I've learned how to socialise and how to accept situations for what they are and to be able to adapt to anything thrown at you
Today I'd say my family are good enough where we don't need to struggle to put food on our table. Today I've chosen that I need to take care of myself and my dreams, now that I feel like we are all good to stand on our own
A little bit more factual about me. I studied health and care, lived in France for half a year after high school, did military basic course, worked as a salesman, caregiver, warehouse worker, pharmacy assistent, truck driver, before eventually me and my brother started a dentistry office together. Today he's the sole one running it
I love to read and write (Read Shantaram and Don Quijote, please read them), I love to learn, meet new people and create new experiences. My goal for now is to learn Spanish fluently!
So I hope you enjoyed my presentation and hopefully I'll hear from you soon!
If you have any other questions, don't even hesitate!
Regards
Usama Darwish

Preferred location

I will be starting my travels from Costa Rica. After that the plan is to take it as it comes. So if you find me interesting enough or you're in need of good help and good company - Write me!! =)

Skills

I've studied health and care in Sweden, have experience from those industries working as a caregiver. Also have experience in the military, gardening (little bit, would love to learn more), customer service work and I translation works from Swedish to English. I'd be willing to do anything available anyway. I'm not too picky
