About Me

*** In case you'd like to have a chance to stay at my place, please don't send me a copy paste request. I decline all of these. Living in Amsterdam, I receive a lot of messages. And I want to be polite and reply to all, but if you do not state | salaam | in your message, I will not reply. ***

Always happy, love to chat, bit of a nerd (love to study), very interested in cultures and religions. Mostly Asian cultures, but also love traveling in the Levantine area and Morocco!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For a long time I didn't have a proper place to invite surfers, but that has finally changed!
I'm on Couchsurfing because I believe in its philosophy.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love world music, instrumental, electronic music, but my love for music has started by being infused with classical music by my parents: Bach in particular is my musical hero. Then, in my teenage years discovered the age of rock and love: the sixties. Love bands like the Doors, the Peaches, the Beatles. Love jazz, Sonny Rollins, blues, BB King, Memphis Slim... O gosh, I could go on forever.
Love arabic music too: Fairouz, Ziad al-Rahbani... and so forth.

Guilty pleasure: nineties R&B - Aaliyah, Destiny's Child... hahaha!
