Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have myself profited from fantastic encounters and lived in many different countries all over the world, from Palestine to the Netherlands and think its is a wonderful non-profit concept which become more and more rare these days, while we'd rather need more and more of them.

Music, Movies, and Books

One of my all-time-favourites: dead poets society and many many more...
I play the harp and piano and I like classical music and Jazz, but really too much to note it all down here.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am still in contact with some good friends I met on Couchsurfing, when I moved from Bethlehem to Belgium in 2013. It always was a good and non-commercial possibility to get to know a place before I settle there.

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to work as a German teacher for the Goethe Institute in Ramallah and in Brussels, then as a professor for Arabic at an American College (Vesalius College) in Brussels, then as a high-school teacher for English, German and Protestant Religion in Eupen/ Belgium... so contact with people and communication means everything to me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A lot of experience in many different countries. A great interest in culture, literature and great thirst for learning more and getting to know even more....
