Overview
About Me
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
