CURRENT MISSION

Figure out what I want to do for the next few years by learning about the world, being inspired by other people and having a fun time doing it!

ABOUT ME

I think that everyone has a story and I want to hear as many of them as I can. I like meeting new people and hearing about the little things in their lives that make them tick. I am studying law at the moment, but I'm still figuring out whether or not I want to be a lawyer. This mostly involves trying as many new things as I can and enjoying the little things in my life as much as I can; like taking photos of random things, drinking tea,camping on the beach with a bottle of gin, laughing at the bad jokes that my friends tell while we cook a good meal together, cycling between little towns in Sweden and lounging around in front of the TV with icecream and Oreos. I enjoy a good movie and dream about making one someday.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed in a few countries in Europe as well as in Lebanon and I really like meeting new people and seeing what life in different parts of the world can be like. I really like exploring my hosts' favourite parts of the city that I am in (particularly with them when they have time). I also like swapping cool stories over a dinner (and desert of course)that I've made.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the sun set off the back of a safari vehicle that was parked in a dried river bed with my best friend in South Africa
