CURRENT MISSION Enjoy the Life and meet people from different cultures ABOUT ME coming from an area engulfed with shocks, in particular conflicts, I have been looking for any chance to travel and enjoy calmness. thus, i was travelling around Europe when i was doing my PhD in portugal (2013-2019). i am now again in Syria working in emergency response and fighting for my wellbeing. whenever i have time i travel and find time to run away to my inner peace. I am a man from the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea. I spent my time working and reading literature. In addition, i like travelling, hiking and camping. In my opinion, communicating with people is as important as watching the ruins. PHILOSOPHY Life is too short... just enjoy it

What I Can Share With Hosts
when i am hosted by a strange people, i need to respect their places. this means that i should not bother them in term of going and coming regardless of their schedule. also i need to respect their privacy. on the other hand, i like to share my life and my culture with the host. i have many things to say and introduce about my country. this does not just contain the current conflict, but it includes the ancient civilizations living in Syria. we have our own mythology, habits, beliefs, and food. for sure i can show my host how to do some of the Middle east food, e.x. Hummus or Kaftah. and about sleeping, i have no problem. i use to hike and sleep in the nature so do not worry if you do not have an additional couch. i can sleep on the floor.
My Interests
