Most of my life has been coloured by living in different countries and studying the Middle East which has filtered me into a niche line of work that allows me yet more travel. I'm massively into music (electronic/folk - anything with soul or a beat).

I'm keen to get to know people, what drives them and where they find their peace.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel solo a lot and CS usually provides a good balance between the solitude of walking around a city on your own and being taken to a hidden bar with your host to dance the night away or have a homemade meal :D

I also think CS is an enriching experience and I really value the human connections I have made in every place.

Interests

I will listen to any kind of music and try to understand where it is coming from. I'm comfortable at an armenian rap battle, a classical performance at a conservatoire, a Nigerian disco night or a sit-down affair appreciating the most intense and conceptual sound art (bring on the drones).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Celebrating Kurdish new year on the Syria-Iraq border in 2010.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, enthusiasm and a willingness to connect.
