CURRENT MISSION

Where there is a will, there is a way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By showing hospitality I believe borders will fade away. I hope to get a sense of traveling myself too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started hosting people many years ago through hospitality club. For no particular reason I switched to Couchsurfing.
When I lived at my comfy rooftop apartment in Damascus I had quite a few inspiring people staying over. Some of them became good friends.
