I'm half lebanese half french, moved couple of years to Beirut after being in France for 6 years.
I think I'm open minded. I'm against the dictature of ideas and traditions. I like to share experiences with people from different locations. Well, i'm not very comfortable about describing myself (like a lot of people I guess)...

I like to travel a lot, like we say in french, "voir du pays".

PHILOSOPHY

1) To travel the most. 2) To learn something every day. 3) Not to waste time, life is too short. 4) Experience new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I couldn't really say about "amazing". Traveling to China and the Balkans was one of the best things i did.
But I could also mention some other cool things :
- walking for hours on The Great Wall of China.
- Swimming in the lake of Baikal, in Russia.
- Going to this small isle in the middle of a lake in Bled, Slovenia.
- Desert of Gobi, Mongolia.
- Sarajevo
- New York, San Francisco, Lake Tahoe
- Greek islands (Siros, Tinos...)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not sure about that. Hearing interesting stories is already not so bad. I could share my travel experiences and my knowledge about international politics. I could learn about cooking.
