I've moved back to Beirut but still frequently fly off on projects. While in Lebanon, I'm working on developing a hub of musicians, artists, artisans, craftspeople around my drum cirlce and other social activities.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To engage with creative international nomads who would like to collaborate while they're in Lebanon.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 1999, I led a media campaign to get the people of Lebanon to go out and enjoy the solar eclipse. It was a disaster, it mutated into a campaign of fear and terror based on quasi science and mumbo jumbo fuelled by the media.

Looking back, I guess I succeeded in solving the country's traffic problem for a day!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach on-camera skills, public speaking and other communications related stuff.

I organise the best drum circles ever! I can also teach guitar, drumming, photography, film, some other instruments including harmonica, flute, a little keyboards

I can also teach a little woodwork (I have a small woodworking workshop - handtools only). Would love to learn from anyone with any experience!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Lots of musical instruments!
