About Me

Hello everyone!

Since I was a child, I have always been an admirer of birds and their ability to fly freely without constraints. I even believe that they sparked in me this dream and ardent curiosity to travel the world and discover its horizons in all their diversity. But as I lived in Lebanon with my parents at the time, it wasn't very feasible. However, at the age of 16, I managed to travel for the first time thanks to my personal savings, and I quickly realized that this is my passion ! Since then, I have refused to let a year pass without doing at least one trip.

I am particularly interested in two types of travel:
1) Cultural travel : focused on discovering different cultures and their richness in arts, history, cuisine, traditions, architecture, etc.
2) Adventure travel : focused on exploring natural and environmental wonders, and the various activities that go along with them (hiking, safari, camping, etc.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, the concept of couchsurfing perfectly highlights the authentic side of traveling and the spontaneity I always seek. Additionally, it is an impeccable way to fill my adventures with wonderful, friendly, and enriching human encounters. Such experiences rarely, if ever, happen in hotels. The modern very commercial world lacks genuineness, and couchsurfing is THE great solution for that.
In other words, I'm here to make everlasting memories.

I warmly welcome anyone, hoping that I will also be welcomed during my travels! 😁

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

First thing that came to my mind : 8 Hours hiking to the top of Mount Sinaï, also known, based on the legends in Judeo-Christian traditions, to be the location where Moses received the Ten Commandements. The hiking-guide purposely timed our arrival at the summit with the Sunrise, and it was the most extraordinarly magical and spiritual moment I've ever experienced, at least for now.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make a lebanese Mankousheh, my secret crêpe recipe, write your name in arabic, analyse a painting, identify basic constellations, etc.

I'd like to learn about different cultures (history, traditions, arts, etc), positively shifting habits/skills/mindests, your great personal experiences and life lessons, your passion(s), wave-surfing, archery, tennis, beekeeping, etc.

I can share stories (we), smiles and kindness, music playlists, a list of things to do and Hidden gems in Paris, good wine, etc.
