I grew up in the Gaza Strip, and I left home 5 years ago to pursue my education. I finished my first year of college at the International Horizons College in Dubai and I decided to come to the United States to enjoy my college experience and get to know this diverse culture more. I love to meet new people and talk to them about myself and hear about them and how different they are from me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here because I hope in the course of the next 2 years I could go around the United States and get to make as many friends as possible. I am also looking for fun and exciting journeys throughout the next 2 years!

Interests

I am interested in sports, I almost play every sport. But traveling would definitely be the thing I am most interested in right now. I wish I could compile my writings by the end of my college in America to publish it in a book, as a guide for travelers across cultures and traditions, and all other barriers.

Music, Movies, and Books

I won't lie! I mostly listen to Arabic music, old and new. Yet, I appreciate all other kinds of music is all languages! My favorite song of all time is "Ommi, by Marcel Khalifa"
My favorite movie is "The hunger games, catching fire" probably because it is the first movie I've ever watched in a movie theater, and it's awesome too. I enjoy all kinds of movies but Horror ones. I just don't understand why would someone watch something to scare himself haha.
I like reading but it is a bit hard for me to read so much in English. The classics are my favorite of all time for sure, also there is "the broken wings, by Jibran Khalil Jibran" you should read it, it is a great novel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I survived 3 wars throughout my life, and as my Jamaican friend would say "Still alive and kicking" .

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to teach people about my religion, and culture, and the differences between us. And I also want to learn about everything, I mean everything, music, food, hobbies, sports, history, ambitions, dreams of others and so on.
