I'm a freelance filmmaker and a photographer. I have been living in Dubai for the past 11 years. I'm also a musician. I've been traveling quite a bit lately, so I've not been able to host people, but I do miss having a traveller over to share their stories and talk about common places we've visited and our experience.

My recent travels have been for work so I've also not had the chance to couch surf, but this should change. I love food, and drinking, and I'm always up for trying something new.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really like people, and it's always amazing hearing stories from travellers first hand. Or if you're travelling to hear about the place you're in from locals, not the internet... It just adds to the experience. I love showing people around Dubai, and I love being shown around.

There's a natural high when you're travelling, and it seems that people who are on CS are just good fun people. I've had an incredible experience on CS so far.

Had a coconut on a deserted (apart from lizards and birds) island in Seychelles.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a lot about storytelling, filming and photography.

I'd love to learn carpentry.. Actually, I'd love to learn anything that someone is passionate about to teach.
