COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was riding ambulance cars for more times than I could count! That was as part of the central Beirut Red Cross Emergency Unit --

Teach, Learn, Share

Well if I see myself learning from anyone, it would be: kind, independent, courageous and hard working individuals wherever they are!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Short/Long walks depending on how interesting the person is or, alternatively, depending on how amazing the scene can be!

Haha not everyone is interesting ;)

An entrepreneurial approach to difficult things. An oriental dance session. A session in Middle Eastern Politics or International Law. Some very good dishes. And a Cuba Libre?
