Hi! I'm a female cinematographer with a passion for culture.
I love adventurous, raw, real travel and exploring more of this world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get inspired and hopefully inspire someone :)
Couchsurfing is one the best ways to connect with the culture on a deep level.
I would love to share and help capture stories.

Interests

Absolutely fascinated with visual arts like - cinematography, photography and colour
Getting a crack at understanding the psychology of people
Arabic culture
African spirit
Love to have a good kizomba/tango dance
And of course adventurous solo travel

Music, Movies, and Books

Documentary films (One of them is human vol1, check it out on YouTube)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can create portrait photos for you, bake a cheesecake, explore a new place together.
