  My definition of weekend trip is to jump into a car and travel to a beach or national park. I love the outdoors and enjoy hiking, playing outdoor sports or just simply sitting at the beach watching the waves crash. Of course, this would mean downloading my favorite podcasts and the latest American/Arabic songs into my phone before heading out to explore the world. As an engineer, i tend to favor arts and science type of podcasts. As for music, i have a wide pallet that stretches from American country music to Arabic Shami music. While on my weekend trip, i do love to try out new restaurants and ethnic foods. I specially love trying out restaurant that challenge my food pallet. Never hurts to try something new at least once and  so don't be surprised to see me at the grand opening of newly opened Polish, Korean or Ethiopian restaurant. I have traveled abroad to china and korea for numerous months for work and found the experience to be exhilarating and fun. In the near future, i would love to find a partner who equally loves to travel the world and sight see. 
As for personality, i tend to be easy going and love to joke. I don't take myself so seriously but i am serious when needed.   Having to be the oldest of 5 siblings, i have mastered to art of when to joke and when to be serious. As part of growing up  in the USA, I have learned to serve and protect my own family and friends. I tend to be faithful to someone who i call family or friend. I will go out of my way to help a friend move to a new house. I believe honesty and sincerity is something you do and not something you say.  Being faithful is something i follow in all aspects of life and one aspect is  religion. I am faithful to my moslem religious up bringing. To be an open minded (moderate) faithful person, i take it up on myself to learn about all aspects of other religions and treat all with respect, equality and dignity. I find that the more i learn about a subject matter, the more i am comfortable with it.  For that reason, I have started my graduate schooling in engineering management with the end goal of mentoring other engineering in my field of study. 
I look forward to hearing back from you.
