Hello! I’m a Palestinian born and raised in Kuwait. I’ve lived here for 38 years and run my own accounting office. I’m passionate about meeting new people and experiencing different cultures. I enjoy traveling, learning about different lifestyles, and sharing stories and experiences with others.

When I’m not working, I like spending time with my family, exploring new hobbies, and having interesting conversations about life, business, and everything in between. I believe in the value of connecting with people from diverse backgrounds, and I’m always excited to learn from the experiences of others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I believe in the power of human connections. Meeting new people, learning from their experiences, and sharing my own is something that excites me. Couchsurfing offers a unique opportunity to connect with locals, explore cultures in a deeper way, and build friendships that go beyond just travel. For me, it’s not just about seeing new places, but about the people I meet along the way and the stories we share.

Interests

I’m passionate about business, entrepreneurship, and personal development. I enjoy learning about different cultures and trying new foods. Traveling is one of my favorite activities because it allows me to meet new people and explore different ways of life. I also have a deep interest in history, especially Middle Eastern history. In my free time, I like spending time with my family, reading books on finance and psychology, and listening to music.
