Currently in the process of figuring out what I'm not doing hoping this will narrow down my options.

Living in Tripoli, Lebanon.

General peripatetic.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

No travel guide can express the pride a host can.

Interessen

Try me and there'll probably be at least a little bit of everything I'm interested in. I guess I have a holistic approach to things so you won't find a get a simple answer

From aubergines to cycling and ethnomusicology, there isn't much of a common thread.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I would be happy to share a hot meal, debate or exchange in music, films or travel recommendations.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

I relish discussions in current affairs, politics, history, economics, philosophy and just about any other subject. I am also keen on learning about things I haven't read into before!

I have some outlandish dance moves.
