About Me

I am a 23 year old girl who loves to travel, meeting new people, learning new things and eating food. I am doing my MA In International Journalism in London but did my undergraduate inMiddle Eastern studies with Arabic.
I often spend time at school when I'm not working but I always make room for the weekends. I truly value likeminded people, but I have a lot of room for new perspectives on things and I love hearing about the world from others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people, enjoying the lifestyle of a local, with a local and sharing experiences. Couchsurfing has already been a huge factor in making my latest trips great, it has opened me up to so many new perspectives of things and I've met so many amazing people.

Interests

I have a deep love for the Middle East and languages which is what I'm currently doing my bachelors in. My bookshelf is mostly filled with books on languages or other old ones, although most of them I haven't read yet.I love meeting new people who can share their perspectives and views of things with me. Also, I love cooking and inviting people over for dinner, it leaves room for sharing and making new friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walked from Palestine and over to the Israeli border to float in the Dead Sea. Ended the night with looking over to Jordan while listening to drums, a harp and a guitar.
Sang Bohemian Rhapsody with friends around a bonfire on a North Korean beach.
