Hello my name is Abdalla. I am a Palestinian American Muslim living in the Bible Belt and loving it. I’ve lived in Tennessee my whole life, but I’ve been to 22 other states and I love road tripping (although I haven’t driven out West yet 😭). I enjoy reading and exploring the great outdoors and singing and experiencing life and culture in new places. I’m sober, so I’m a terrible drinking buddy, but that makes me a great DD.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling, but it can be expensive! And I want to experience life in the places I visit, which you can’t really do by staying at a hotel.

Interests

I like camping, hiking, biking, reading, traveling, singing, playing guitar, and cooking

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC: Bob Dylan, Mumford and Sons, RHCP, The Black Keys, Khalid, J. Cole, Cat Stevens, Alicia Keys (basically most things but country) • MOVIES: Good Will Hunting, V for Vendetta, anything Pixar, Quentin Tarantino movies, Whiplash, The Sound of Music • BOOKS: The Autobiography of Malcolm X, Harry Potter, My Side of the Mountain, The Alchemist, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming with manatees in the springs in Florida!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love languages and understanding the methodology of communication. I want to learn as many languages as I can. I want to teach people how to appreciate life, how to find purpose, and I want to help those who have been oppressed.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I make really good omelettes. I also make amazing knafeh and maqluba (if you know, you know) I play guitar and love singing with people!
