About Me

Hello, I'm Canadian 🇨🇦 and I love meeting new people and learning new cultures. I was born in Toronto & I lived in America 🇺🇸 (USA) while finishing my post-graduate degree in university.

My parents are immigrants to Canada they taught my brother and I our Mediterranean culture, food, music, and respect.

I speak English 🇬🇧 Arabic 🇪🇬 French 🇫🇷Spanish 🇪🇸 and Italian 🇮🇹 (I also read Greek 🇬🇷 and Portuguese 🇵🇹🇧🇷 but needing improvement).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people with similar interests or those who love to show me around their city :)

Interests

Travelling the world and discovering new places is my favourite interest. Besides that, I love to interact with new people to learn different cultures and languages.

My favourite activities are discovering new places, learning how to cook, playing soccer (football), rollerblading, making new friends, discovering new cultures, and enjoying good music.

I am a healthcare professional and I have a passion for treatment and prevention of HIV/AIDS. I do a lot of work in the LGBT community here and I love to volunteer.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love many types of music including: EDM, house, tribal, electronic, R&B, hip hop, jazz, Spanish music: salsa, reggaeton, and chill/lounge music like Sade, Alina Baraz, Jhene Aiko, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I like spontaneous and fun trips, like my road trip down the Pacifica in California and backpacking through Italy. I have seen over a dozen countries !

Teach, Learn, Share

My family is a mix of Greek and Arabic-speaking 🇱🇧 Christians from the Middle East. I love my Mediterranean culture and have travelled to Italy 🇮🇹, Greece 🇬🇷 , Spain 🇪🇸 and Egypt 🇪🇬 a couple times. I love to share my cultures!

I visit cathedrals, churches, temples, and museums in my trips abroad because I love to learn history. I also like to find spirituality in nature and people of different faiths can teach to be a better human. ⛪️🕍🕌⛩
