Hi! I'm currently moving house so I won't be available until mid-September.

I'm a certified teacher, currently working towards becoming an Arabic translator! I love traveling and learning new languages (and meeting people, of course). I studied fine arts and Middle East studies.

I'm quite easygoing, love to explore places, try new foods, and go on adventures!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think this is a really cool way to travel (especially on a budget). It helps you get right into the city you're visiting and you can make friends with locals who can tell you about the city, give you some suggestions, or just become a friend!
