About Me

I was born in Lebanon where i lived till I've got 19 years old, then i went to Ukraine where I have studied for 12 years. In 2001 i returned to Lebanon where I live and work but still can sit a while without travelling.
I have two wonderful daughters, currently i'm divorced and live with my little daughter while my elder one is living and studying abroad.

Philosophy:
Imagine that there is no country, there is only one...
Humanity shares the same environmental, economic and social problems,
We are the children of the first wave of globalization and we starting to call Earth Our Home and all people around the world our countrymen.
I love the place where i grow up as much the one where I have been studying for almost 12 years or the places where i travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here cause traveling is what i love to do, Travelling to know not only cities and attractions down there, but people of these cities and their great cultures.

Interests

Architecture isn't only a profession, it's my field, my passion, my life.
While reading novels and watching good movies take parts of my daily routine.
I like pets so much specially dogs.
Riding my bike and swimming are my hobbies and sometimes do nothing is the best hobby.

Music, Movies, and Books

I prefer classic music in different variations.

My favorite movies are so many such as Invictus, Midnight in Paris, Hachiko, The Da Vinci cod etc...

I suppose it's not fair to specific a few books as favorite cause most of books are favorite in some way. However "Ports of Call" by Amin Maalouf is probably one of the most touching books i have ever read, "The Man Without Qualities" by Robert Musil is an amazing novel. From classic books i was touched by "Anna Karenina" by Leo Tolstoy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One, rather Two amazing happenings I've done in my life are my two daughters.
Even if our relationships aren't always ideal, but these two amazing girls are my compass.
