About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Turn things upside down - to really see.

ABOUT ME

I miss the sheeshas of Cairo, fell in love with the multiethnic and diverse atmosphere in Toronto, but have settled, for now, in the fascinating city of Amman.

I'm a currious person, interested in talking to new people and learn how life can be lived in different ways. I got a thing for the beauty and complexity of arabic, and is still trying to learn. I enjoy travelling, drinking tons of coffee, and bellydancing (cause here it's okay that parts of your body you normally try to hide, can shake freely:-))

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've participated a bit in couchsurfing events in the new cities I've moved to during the last year. I couchsurfed with my friend in Israel and Palestine, which, for me, was an absolutely amazing experience. I met beautiful people, filled with hospitality and kindness. Had tons of discussion about life on both sides of this fascinating and contested place. There is really no other way for me to travel now!

Interests

Religions, discussions over good coffee, dancing silly, meeting new people, hiking..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's all about people! I have travelled in amazing places, hiked in breath taking mountains, but somehow my best memories always go back to the people I have met. Living in 'house internationale' in Toronto was one of the best.
