About Me

CURRENT MISSION

You either live your life as if nothing is a miracle or if everything is a miracle.

ABOUT ME

I love to travel and now I have a job that enables me to do that, i want to experience so many different cultures and love meeting new people.
The Middle East has opened my eyes to a whole new way of life, one that I want to remain part of! I work as a freelance tour leader for Wild Frontiers and love it.

PHILOSOPHY

It takes courage to do what you want. Other people have a lot of plans for you. Nobody wants you to do what you want to do....
At any given moment you have the power to say: this is not how the story is going to end.....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think im definitley a Nomad - I love living out of a bag, sleep on roofs, under the stars, meeting new people, i love travel and seeing new places but it is about the people you meet along the way, i love to get to know the culture and the way of life, not to just be a tourist, i dont want to have merely just visited this world!!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Im currently working as a Tour leader around the world so I do not have a 'home' just a van that I stay in when I am back in the UK.
I used to live in Syria and worked in the Middle east so Im also keen to meet any of you guys if you also in the main cities of Europe..and practice my (not so great)Arabic skills until I return...:-)

Interests

Discovering new cultures, trying to learn Arabic, keeping fit (well when i can haha)
