I was born and raised in the lovely Beirut and studied architecture there. I always liked meeting new people and I am very fascinated about different cultures and perspectives. I recently moved to Rome to follow my higher education in architecture. Depending on the mood, sometimes I'm very energetic and sometimes I'm relaxed and composed. I'm friendly and a bit weird, I love to spend time laughing, fooling around, exploring new cities and eating FOOD! I'm interested in languages, they are small riddles that tell a story of a population's collective character through special dialects.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Characters and cultures intrigue me a lot and whenever I can, I like spending time with people who are exceptionally open, honest, particular, or from cultures that I know nothing about to get to know them better and develop my cultural knowledge.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a huge Coldplay fan, I also enjoy easy-listening, classical music for Beethoven and Mozart.
Almost all the books I read evolve somewhat around cultural fictions.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Dipped in the melted snow stream in Akshor, Morocco.
Jumped from a cliff in Lebanon.
Rode my yellow bicycle through a hurricane in Florida.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm picking up on the long list of books I've been wanting to read. I can teach you some fun words and expressions in Levantine Arabic, and I can give insight on architectural styles and history.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Language exchange, the Lebanese ways, maybe a small meal, I usually leave a book I'm reading.
