ABOUT ME

After spending some months in Thailand, I'm living in Riyadh. Since they've now started issuing Tourist VISAs, it's something to think about!

I love traveling, scuba, karaoke, live music and dancing, concerts, exploring the sites and food joints around town and showing folks around. The "Weekend" is Friday/Saturday here.

I'm also active in the local music, theater and improv scene.

PHILOSOPHY: It is what it is.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Lehren, lernen, teilen

Intellectual, open-minded, folks from any walk of life. Love of humanity a must, and being active a plus. In the middle-east our closest friends hailed from US, Canada, UK, Poland, Ethiopia, Philippines, Malaysia, OZ, NZ, and lots of other places. "Rainbow Friendly"! :)
