I'm absolutely new to this platform even though I knew about it since 2013, I am excited about where this could possibly lead and have an immense respect for the community and the founders of this platform.

I was born in the US but have spent most of my life in Lebanon after the family moved there. I'm usually a reserved individual, but that is slowly changing, I am curious about almost anything so whatever it is that interests you I'm more than happy to learn about. I have a deep appreciation for art and cooking even though I'm not particularly good at either.

I do not smoke, or drink and do not mind either. Comfortable with Pets.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hate the common tour guides and predetermined places to see, I would much rather see a town or a city through the eyes of a local to actually learn more about the culture through experience not just listening to facts. I also think it is a great platform to meet new people and share some of who I am and where I come from with them as well.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmmm not sure what this is about but if I could:

Teach: I could help you learn some Arabic or English, maybe some tips on gardening and stuff like that I dunno.

Learn: I'm a curious individual so I am open to learning what it is you're interested in teaching, especially cooking (I'm extra bad at cooking).

Share: My language, my perspective on things, my experiences.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you're interested in learning some Arabic and or English I more than willing to help you.

I can help you make a small diy hydroponics system to grow some greens at home.
