About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Becoming fluent in Arabic

ABOUT ME

Passionate about (vegan/vegetarian) food, travelling, feminism, books, dogs, concerts, languages, loving long hikes, long laughs, bouldering, black tea with a lot of sugar, getting into a bus and having no idea where it will take me, going to drag shows and meeting people that will introduce me to things I didn't know and didn't try before!

PHILOSOPHY

"Our own life has to be our message." ~ Thích Nhat Hạnh

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing is one of the best things about the internet, I have met some of my best friends through CS! I love getting to see the world through the eyes of people who come from a very different background than mine and even though I sadly have very limited possibilities to host people, whenever I have time I'm happy to share "my Berlin" with other people!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a big Michael Jackson fan and I listen to a lot of Arabic bands. I love sharing my favorite songs and listening to those of others. Even better if we have a same obsession in music, then I'm sure we'll be friends.

Love watching documentaries, RuPaul's Drag Race and watching things in a language that I'm currently learning, to feel like it justifies procrastinating by watching dumb series.

Love spending time in the library and discovering new books, mostly ones that take me to another place or another time while reading them. And I love the smell of old books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Holding my baby dog in my arms for the first time.
Turning back from the airport with all my stuff to stay longer in Amman because I just couldn't leave.
Accidentally meeting one of my favorite artists, Hamed Sinno in a hotel and talking to him for a bit.

Teach, Learn, Share

Let's share a cup of tea, laughter and good food :)
