Overview
About Me
Basically, I am a Dendrophile, spontaneous, and a bit introverted person. I have lived almost my whole life in Syria and studied Dentistry there. Although, I have found my passion in the humanitarian field and spent a good in time in it.
I feel that I am lucky that I have had the chance to live through tough experiences there (War, food and energy crises). However, I believe that they taught me a lot about human nature, sociology and how to find happiness in the cruelest times.
Hiking is one of my favorite activities, however, sometimes I just prefer to stay home to read a book, watch a movie or just enjoy a glass of wine.
Recently, I have moved to Hungary as a scholarship awardee to study master's of public health and I'm excited to start a journey across Europe and to meet people from different cultural backgrounds and I am open to all kinds of discussions but I am skeptical to almost everything so I am a bit hard to convince.
Currently, I am not hosting because my apartment still empty without a suitable place for a guest but I think that by the end of the year it will be ready to enjoy your company in my humble place.
When traveling, I like meeting new people and I will be grateful if you could show me the hidden places that you as a local enjoy spending your time in. Furthermore, I would be really interested in trying your local food and drinks and maybe your local dances too.
Hopefully, see you very soon dear reader :D
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I like travelling; however, I think that it won't be fun if I did not meet the people of the city. Moreover, I like to host people from all over the world, learn more about their norms and local culture.

Jazz is my favorite music genre, but I like listening to classic rock music too.
Books: 21 lessons for the 21st century, Alamut, the selfish gene
Movies: Iorigin, intersteller, the promise.
