CURRENT MISSION

To not lose my wallet, passport or luggage.

ABOUT ME

I live in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia where I work, supervise and train personnel for the ambulance system. I have been here almost 2 years. I like to scuba dive, take road trips, run, travel, write and make Lebanese food. I am originally from California, and I have left my dog behind there. Inshallah (Allah willing) I will not stay here forever.

PHILOSOPHY

Leave things better than you found them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will provide a safe, comfortable environment. And a clean couch. You bring your own toothpaste.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed with some Saudis in Dammam I did not know. Other than that, not much couch surfing.

Interests

History, travelling, exercise, writing, foreign movies, eclectic music, Middle Eastern food, having good conversation instead of watching TV.
