I’m an open-minded, Lebanese expat living in the Netherlands who’s excited about traveling, camping, world cuisines, playing ice hockey, and exploring different cultures! I’m a good conversationalist and an even better listener, and I take great interest in learning about people’s stories and experiences. I’m also an open book, so most things you ask about me will probably be received with an answer 😊

I’ve been living abroad for the past 11 years, so I think I’m pretty skilled in the art of surviving and taking care of myself! It has also helped me develop my cooking skills and love for food 🧑🏼‍🍳

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people from all corners of the world, learn about their cultures, explore cities and ideas together, and pass on my culture and experiences in return 😋
