I have lived in the Bay Area for almost 10 years. I care a lot about community and spend time supporting friends and gathering people that I love. I really like connecting with new people!

I was born in the Middle East and hospitality is very culturally celebrated in my family. If you stay with me I will be happy to make you tea, share food, show you around, and connect you with community.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been hosted on several occasions and hope to host more in the future!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My partner and I stayed with 5 hosts through couchsurfing on a cross country road trip a few years ago, and I really loved and appreciated getting to meet people and places that way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've watched the sunrise over seemingly endless salt flats in Southern Bolivia, I've been the last person to make eye contact with an elder before he passed, I've held a newborn baby less than an hour after she came into the world, I've made friends that are like family.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can give some English, Spanish, and Hebrew lessons. I can share some knowledge about the Bay Area and about how to make really excellent salads. I've worked as a child therapist and can trouble shoot kid related things if it's helpful!

I would love to learn a few of your favorite things about the place you live and where you are from.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help clean, cook, offer some help with editing and listen. Also, I can share a funny story or two!
