Disclaimer: I went MIA for the past 2 years thanks to the pandemic. My apologies for the many unanswered messages.

I'm a girl with a love for street food, museums and everything ancient and antique. I am an avid reader and will be a great company to anyone interested in intellectual and cross-cultural conversations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to see the world and get hospitality while 'am at it. I love meeting the people of a country and not just the indifferent workers at a hotel. To me, it's all about the stories that people can tell of a destination which makes a trip worthwhile.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen kids grow from pimple awkward teens into introspective change making successful adults. That is one marvel that always trumps me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could tell you all about my hometown. I am an honest to goodness native Beiruti, and we are rare and hard to find or come across. I could share a history of change, culture, and food (all Lebanese of course). I would love to learn about your history culture and whatever else that's interesting and you would like to share.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer a glimpse into the history and live of Beiruties, a lot of kickass Lebanese recipes, stories of how my homeland used to be and how it came into great change in recent times.
