I am an architecture student that has been hopping from one city into another looking for inspiration and new places to call home. I left my precious city Beirut 4 years ago to Italy where I finished my bachelors a year ago. I am in Paris, making the best out of this city and my masters. I am an amateur filmmaker and photographer and visiting new places to keep my creativity going. Hence whenever things get too stressful I book the cheapest ticket south and go for an adventure.

Other than my intrepid personality, I am very positive and joyful. I care a bit too much for putting a smile on the faces of the people I am with (not that I am funny but I just try hard enough and then I would get something :P ).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am an avid lover of meeting new people. Couchsurfing doesn't only give me this opportunity but also an opportunity to explore the city in the eyes of someone else.
It is an opportunity to live like a local. I cherish culture exchange as I find it enriching and mind opening.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flamenco, I have always wanted to learn Flamenco, I have been doing it for 2 years now and hoping to take it further.
I also managed to make a few films even with the demanding architecture student life.

Teach, Learn, Share

My friends say I am quite a philosopher reacting to things and having ( always) an opinion while this can be overestimated it translates into conversations where I am fully immersed. I will always share with you my music which tends to be highly appreciated by everyone I meet (it's quite unique) movies as well.
Basically, I will speak about my country and my hate/love relation and end up convincing you to come to Lebanon.
I have some graphic design and photography skills so would share some of it.
I have some nice moves in dance so I can also teach you some of it and would love any output to teach me more dances.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Lebanese never come empty handed, that's to start. I will probably have my Lebanese coffee with me so if you're into coffee we will have that first thing in the morning.
On the less materialistic side, it's again my cultural background, languages, my interests and a great dancing buddy.
