I’m passionate about living a natural lifestyle in connection with the earth and with one another and with food and nature. I love to meet new people and to be immersed in new cultures and new places. I'm a curious person always asking questions and learning. I strive to hold space for others and believe that what you put out into the world comes back to you.
I never know what to list for "hometown" because I moved around so much growing up. I moved back and forth between the UAE and USA every few years, and have been back in the US since 2011. My family is Syrian by ethnicity but we never lived there, only visited. I wish I got to see more of it.
I don’t drink, smoke, or party and I don’t use couchsurfing to meet guys.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The amazing people I meet on my travels are sometimes the best memories I have of a place. Places can be amazing but humans can make them even more amazing. I'm thankful for the wonderful people I have crossed paths with, whether it was to meet up or to host each other. I think this is an amazing platform in the way that it brings people together! In-depth profiles really help you get to know people too.

Interests

I have a lot of interests. I love being immersed in off-grid type environments where people live off the land and are connected to the earth. Fruit trees make me happy. I love walking in nature, hiking, the beach, and natural settings like that. I love exploring and taking trips, especially camping! I can set up a tent, start a fire, etc. I enjoy it so much. Although I do the kind where you have showers and bathrooms and your car. Not all the way rustic haha. I looove hammocks, fresh fruit, and just want to travel all the time. I think I am an inner nomad waiting to come to life. I admire the digital nomad lifestyle. I'd love to meet likeminded people who have that going for them! Living that lifestyle is my goal!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like music that sings about deep meaningful stuff. I don't really watch much TV. I like the Moana movie lol. I can relate to the main character who wants to explore!!! The main song brings me to life. I think I watched Titanic 7 times and cried every time lol. Most of the books I read are about natural health.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swam with wild dolphins in the Pacific ocean although I was really sea sick after swimming all the way out there and couldn't see them very well lol.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe that teaching and learning can happen in everyday moments not just in structured environments. Sometimes a conversation can impact you and teach you in ways you do not realize. I think everyone has a story and something to offer, and the dynamic between two particular people is going to bring out specific things that may be different when two other people interact.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach some healthy cooking, natural lifestyle tips, some Arabic! I always clean up after myself and am happy to discuss other ways I might be able to help out.
