About Me

Hey there, a few lines about me, Egyptian of Armenian origins, I have been managing cultural projects and working in cultural cooperation in general for the last 3 years. In 2016, I have quit my job to carry one with my studies, I moved to France get my Master's degree, today I live and work in Paris.

I am very passionate about languages, when I am free i try to enhance my language skills. I enjoy very much playing the Darbuka (percussion) and listen to all kinds of music, specially the ones that I do not know yet ;) I like to hike, ride horses, walk around, get drinks and watch movies :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This community has literally changed my life, my mentality and how I perceive things.
Hosting was my first experience, done it for a year. Without couch-surfing, for my first alone trip to the United States, I would have just spent two weeks in New York and done all the touristy stuff. However, after hosting over 25 travelers and listening to their unique and amazing travels, I decided to do a 4 month trip across the states. Best decision I have ever took so far !
I still meet amazing people than inspire me, I get to practice the different languages I speak and share my knowledge with whomever that shows interest in listening to what I have to offer.

Interests

I love learning new stuff, This year I learned basic German and Skiing, the last year, how to dance salsa and Bachata and Spanish language. For 2019, I am still not sure what is next but maybe surfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taming Wild Mustang horses in New Mexico
Mardi Gras in New Orleans
Hiking the Grand Canyon
Hitchhiking 1500 Km in the Midwest of the U.S
Couch surfing 22 homes in the U.S

Teach, Learn, Share
