A socially awkward ambivert, sometimes too shy, sometimes too wild and untamed 🤷🏻‍♀️

I love animals the most but people are okay too... occasionally.

Learning languages and getting to know new cultures is a passion of mine.
I would describe myself as a very caring, and open-minded person.

I'm a tea junkie but coffee is also cool (although I shouldn't be drinking a lot for health reasons 😬).
Feel free to check out my Instagram account if you want to make sure I'm a real person 😊 @talaharakee

If I ever host you, meet you or ask to stay at your place, please know that you will be acquainted with a very understanding person, and I will make sure to provide a safe and friendly ambiance so that you can feel free to share your thoughts, ideas and opinions with me.

PS: I don't use Couchsurfing as a dating app😬 If you do, good for you but I'm not here for that purpose. Not interested in ONS either, thank you very much!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking for a safe space to meet new people, have fun and experience travelling from a different perspective.
On my few but quite adventurous trips I've encountered some amazing souls, I hope I keep meeting awesome people from around the Globe.

Interests

I'm into languages and translation; that's why I chose to pursue my studies in this field. I love music as it makes life so much more pleasant. I found my passion for weight lifting a few years back. I've never done it professionally but I love how it makes me feel strong.
Travelling is one of the best things one can ever do... unfortunately I haven't had many chances yet to do so (life circumstances, job, money, etc) but I hope I'll be able to travel more and more in the near future!

Music, Movies, and Books

Open to all kinds of music!

I like horror films and thrillers but also any well-made movie. Documentaries are cool too, I enjoy them.

The books I read are mostly novels, (from French, Italian, Arabic and Russian literature).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Surviving this cruel world! 😂 I'm kidding... I don't know...
Volunteering? Doing charity? Adopting a stray kitty? Bungee-jumping, maybe? Is that impressive enough?
If not, I've been pissed on (oh, excuse my language) by a lion when I was 11!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a few words in Lebanese Arabic, a bit about my country, culture and background.
I'm open to learn absolutely anything!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A quirky personality and lots of chats... I'm clean and tidy. I would never leave the space you offer me dirty or in a mess.
Souvenirs from my hometown are a bonus! If I find all the ingredients, I'll make you hummus or any Lebanese dish🤷🏽‍♀️

Countries I’ve Visited
