We are ALI + JANA

Originally from Lebanon. But living in Gambia . We want to meet people . Make friends
Go for coffee. Dinner.
Drive somewhere interesting

Looking at making friends
maybe we can hang . join forces or anything.

I am on couchsurfing a while now. Jana joined about 3 years ago
I Lived and studied in the UK, South Africa and Gambia.
Jana also lived in Lebanon, Zambia, Gambia .Guinea
Travel 2 moths a year :-)
We spend a lot of time on the water.
We love meeting people, and chatting and finding out new things about new places.

We make it a mission to go to at least 2 new countries every year, so no wonder I have visited almost 52 countries ;-)

I am a host, unlikely to be a guest, but you never know, I travel at the drop of a hat, and never make plans ? On my last trip . I decided to travel late July for 2 months, so I took a plane to Madrid and just started going around Europe. I was on the road till 5 Oct when I had to catch a plane from London back to work.
Now we are a couple , we do everything together.

Gambia is a great place to live and visit , but it's only busy from Oct till May, then it gets very quite, hence we have a long free period every year.

If you ever decide to visit Gambia / or Lebanon, give us a nudge, if we are there, we will help in every way we can

PHILOSOPHY

Be happy and generous, go with the flow,
We can party with 18 year olds and 70 year olds , as long as its fun

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted many surfers since I became active, and so far all have been great experiances, I always honor my comitments, even if I decide to travel, if I agreed to host you before I made my travel plans, I will still arrange for someone to be your host in my house.

Have had 3 surfers that were coming then I had to go to hungary, and uk when they were due, but both times, I had a friend look after my house and meet the surfers, and host them in my house.

I used to own a cocktail bar in a hotel, and meet many people there, and some of them when they return to Gambia , have stayed with me instead of paying for the hotel , so made some friends there too.
