After traveling extensively in the Middle East for months, with one of my best friends and travel partner Amber de Wolde (see her profile for references https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/amberrosanna). We have been Couchsurfing non-stop for a period of 6 months. This travel experience in which we met so many wonderful people and made so many friends for life, I can truly say that CS has changed my outlook on life in that region.
After falling in love with Beirut, I have been living for 4years in this beautiful region. The hospitality, culture and its people are an amazing added value to my life that I would never wanted to miss out on..
Currently I am back in Europe and working in Berlin in the arts and real estate.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

hitchhiking to the Abu Simbel in south Egypt in the middle of the night and being stopped by the army. or our adventures in India, staying with a Kashmir family in Srinagar or the slums of Mumbai and enjoying their simple life and great hospitality. traveling through Syria before the horrible war started, and being able to still see the beautiful country before it got destroyed.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn new languages, and teach people mine.. exchange of ideas and perspectives is the most valuable thing one can get from life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will back the most delicious Dutch pancakes :)
