I´m a 29 year old Lebanese male. I have been living in Beirut for the past 11 years and have worked in different fields ranging from journalism to bartending and DJing. My passion is music and hope to pursue sound engineering once I return to Lebanon from my travels. I recently took a break from working and am currently travelling around Latin America with my wife.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I used to use Couchsurfing a lot to host people at my old apartment in Beirut and had some very memorable experiences from those times. Now that I myself am on the road (and on a very tight budget!) I decided to get back into couchsurfing but this time as a surfer rather than a host!

What I Can Share With Hosts
I can cook up a great middle eastern meal! I can exchange music - I carry my music library with me in my usbs everywhere i go! I can teach you everything you need to know about Lebanon, especially Beirut (and to a lesser extent the Middle East region in general) I can make great cocktails after having worked in a bar for over 10 years!
My Interests
