Hello fellow wanderers and kind souls of Couchsurfing,

I'm thrilled to introduce myself to this incredible community of travelers, explorers, and generous hosts. My name is Eliane Sawma👋, and I'm embarking on an exciting journey in just one week, and I'm hoping to make a few new friends along the way!

For the past 5 years, I have been constantly learning, working, traveling, and exploring. I like to meet new people, and on several occasions, I met tourists from all around the globe at pubs and restaurants whom I became friends with. 🌏✈️

A bit about me: I'm a 25-year-old Psychosocial support officer in an NGO. I am from Beirut, Lebanon🏙️. I've always been captivated by the diversity of our world, and I've made it my mission to explore it one city at a time. Whether it's chasing the aurora borealis in Finland🌌🌠🌟, savoring street food in Turkey 🍜🌆, simply getting lost in the charm of European cobblestone streets in France 🏰, or the stunning beauty of the Côte d'Azur 🌟🗺️, I'm always in pursuit of new adventures and the magic of unfamiliar places.

There are so many things that bring joy and excitement to my life. Whether it's dancing around to my favorite tunes 🎶🕺, indulging in delicious meals 🍽️🍣, or just spending time with my loved ones ❤️👨‍👩‍👧‍👦, life is a never-ending adventure full of fun and laughter.

I love to explore new places and try new things 🌄🍽️🎨, always seeking new experiences that will make my heart sing or skip a beat. Whether it's taking a spontaneous road trip 🚗🛣️, trying out a new hobby 🎸🎨, or simply enjoying a beautiful sunset 🌅, the simple things in life are what bring me the most happiness.
I believe that every moment is an opportunity to smile, laugh, and create memories that will last a lifetime. 😄❤️🌟

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm hoping to find a warm and welcoming host who can offer not just a place to stay but also a glimpse into the local way of life. I'm open to various accommodation arrangements, whether it's a couch, spare room, or even just a spot on the floor. It's not about the luxury; it's about the connection. 🏠🤝

Traveling is one of life's greatest joys, and I absolutely love it! Exploring new destinations, experiencing different cultures, trying new foods and activities, and making memories with like-minded individuals is what traveling is all about for me. It's a chance to escape the routine of everyday life and immerse myself in new and exciting experiences. When I travel, I not only seek out new places, but I also see myself in a new light and gain a fresh perspective on life. ✨🌴

If you're someone who values the exchange of cultures, stories, and the joy of meeting new people, I'd be honored to have the opportunity to stay with you during my upcoming adventure. Together, we can create unforgettable memories and celebrate the beauty of our shared humanity. 🌍🤗

As a guest, I'm incredibly respectful and considerate of my hosts' homes and rules. I understand that opening your doors to travelers takes trust and goodwill, and I'm committed to treating your space with the utmost care and gratitude. I'm an excellent communicator and listener, which means I'm always eager to hear your stories, share my own, and learn from the incredible people I meet. 🏡💬

Thank you for considering me as your Couchsurfing guest. I can't wait to embark on this journey and look forward to the possibility of sharing it with you. Let's make this adventure one to remember! 🌟✈️

Interests

Culinary Explorer 🍔🌮
If life were a menu, I'd be the person ordering something new every time. My taste buds are always on an adventure, and I'm a self-proclaimed vegan foodie. Whether it's crafting gourmet dishes or devouring street food, I'm always on the hunt for the next delicious bite.

Music Maven 🎵🎸
Ever seen someone transform into a dancing machine the moment their favorite song plays? That's me! Whether it's belting out classic rock anthems in the shower or strumming my trusty guitar by the campfire, music is my heartbeat.

Strolling Fanatic 🚶‍♂️🌿
They say the best way to explore a new place is on foot, and I wholeheartedly agree. I have a deep passion for walking and uncovering the hidden gems of each destination at a leisurely pace. From strolling through scenic trails that lead to tranquil lakes to wandering the quaint streets of charming villages, I find joy in embracing the world one step at a time.

Art Aficionado 🎨📷
Whether I'm capturing the world through my camera lens or painting a canvas with my emotions. I find beauty in the details and believe that art is a universal language.

Laugh Enthusiast 😂🤣
Life's too short to be serious all the time, right? I live for those belly-aching, tear-inducing, can't-breathe laughs. If you've got a good sense of humor and enjoy a great joke, we're already best friends in the making.
