Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My good friend Pauline (PAU) introduced me to Couchsurfing and we opened our apartment in Ramallah, Palestine to all kinds of travelers. It was such a fabulous way to meet people and to teach others about such an amazing place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Completely surrounded by a peaceful herd of elephants in South Africa.

Harvesting olives with a Palestinian family.

Having my family be asked to dinner by a shopkeeper in Jordan whom we bought socks from. We showed up the next evening to find a veritable feast and a chance to experience a different culture and make new friends.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some music or maybe how to make some good banana bread or a really fabulous vegetable curry. I can also try to show you some Indian dance moves and how to count to ten in English, French, Spanish, Arabic and Punjabi!

I am always keen on sharing anything music-related, be it hands-on stuff, or just new tunes!

I would be grateful to know how to french-braid my own hair! I'm also keen to acquire skills on surfing, skateboarding, new languages, and knitting.
