About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get rid of my second alarm (in the living room...)

ABOUT ME

27 years old. I'm a music producer / composer in NYC. I was born in France, then moved to Beirut, Lebanon when I was 10. I've been living in the U.S for about 8 years now and I love it.

My friends tell me that I'm pretty laid back and very social. I love music. I've been playing the guitar for about 20 years now and compose music for films and multimedia. I like hanging out with friends at home or in a bar, make random encounters, take pictures on the street and eat good food.

PHILOSOPHY

Rhythm is love (or the other way around it's up to you).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first CS experience was with a friend in Vermont for the foliage. We got to our host's house pretty late. It was freezing cold out, so our host offered us some warm apple cider. We had a pretty cool conversation with her, had a good laugh, and that's when I realized I wanted to become a couch surfer. I have hosted many people since then, met a ton of really fascinating travelers from all around the world, even became really good friends with some of them. So far, it's been a life changing experience.
