About Me

I love the idea of knowing people, culture and languages. I have travelled to some European and Middle Eastern countries and can speak some French and Arabic.
Have lived most of my life in London and I call it 'home'.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am new to this and was introduced to this by a friend. And I am making this profile on the same day as I had my first practical experience of couchsurfing in Denmark.

I am couchsurfing because I really enjoyed my time and realised that this is a great way of meeting new people.

Interests

My idea of a holiday is - walk and explore the streets, enjoy nightlife and eat and drink a lot.

Usually I only go on a holiday for not more than 2 days and sleep very little while on holiday so that I can make the most of my holiday.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading and listening to music.

Not a very big fan of movies.

I usually read on history and politics when I get time from my legal reading.

Into ALL kinds of music... yes ALL! And I love dancing too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the craziest things I do is - I take the first flight in the morning and wear my office clothes when I get on my flight back to London (from a holiday) and go straight to work! I I have done this three times so far and 6 shots of expresso help me throughout the day.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am particularly interested in learning French and Arabic. However, any language is welcome.

I have taught English from 2007 to 2014 to adult learners so I can help you to improve your pronunciation.

Type in this word "STARBUCKS' in your message as this would confirm to me that you've read my profile.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If my partner is at home, we can offer whatever meals we make. I must say my partner is a great cook.
