Overview
About Me
Hey there!
I'm a social researcher who loves travelling, learning new languages, and making friends from different places (what a novelty here, right?). I'm very open-minded and I love to help people navigate the cultural treasures of my city, which currently is Beirut. In the last 5 years I've been living between Jordan and Lebanon and just moved to South Africa for a short time!
I enjoy dancing and I have developed a huge admiration for raqs sharqi (aka belly dancing), but any movement and rhythm is a source of inspiration for me!
Ps. I just arrived to Johannesburg, that's why I can't host right now. Give me time to settle myself first please!
