CURRENT MISSION Settle down somewhere! ABOUT ME Born, raised and educated in Aleppo, I moved to Istanbul on 1 Oct 2012 because of the war 😔 I taught English here for a while before I moved to Gazinatep to start teaching at its university. I'm also a freelance En/Ar interpreter! In 2018, I got the Turkish citizenship. As a result, I (had to) quit my job at the university and decided to return to Istanbul. As a freelance interpreter I don't have to work everyday - I have a lot of free time to socialise with old friends and make new ones 😉 I'm still happily/unhappily single - it's actually a long, complicated story, but I'm willing to share it... I'm very honest, extremely friendly and humorous and interestingly open-minded. I've got a strong passion for travel and I always love to visit new cities and countries, but I've only been to a dozen countries or so... I love learning and teaching languages - I especially fancy learning interesting sayings, expressions and proverbs in other languages because they tell me a lot about the people who speak those languages, their culture and way of thinking, etc. I've got loads of stories to share, and I'm also a good listener! As a Syrian, I must've been through SO much in my life 😔 But I can always smile and draw a smile on your face 😉🤗 PHILOSOPHY You are what you know! No justice, no peace...

Perché sono su Couchsurfing
I'm on CS because I want to make friends with people from all over the world. CS is one way to cherish the humanity inside us through learning from, and about each other.
Musica, film e libri
I love all kinds of music that appeal to the sensible mind. I'm more into reading articles and checking things out in encyclopaedias than reading 'books' of any sort! I used to read books more in the past than now. Is it the internet?! I'm not crazy about films, but I generally love romantic comedies. I like documentaries, scientific programmes, etc.
Una cosa straordinaria che ho fatto
I was the first Syrian to visit the Waiheke Island off the coast of Auckland City, New Zealand in 2009 ;)
Insegna, Impara, Condividi
I am always keen on learning new things and teaching what I know. Sharing is caring, you know ;)
Cosa posso offrire agli host
