About Me

Hello, I'm Bash, an international student about to start a Master Degree in Industrial Medical Design at Muthesius University. Ich spreche ein bisschen Deutsch, aber ich lerne schnell!

I'm a 25-year-old Palestinian, grew up in Saudi Arabia, and obtained my Bachelor Degree in Design Thinking in Cape Town, South Africa. I have a diverse and international background, which make me very adaptable and open for new ideas and adventures.

I have a passion for cooking, but I also started cooking at an early age as I'm intolerant to Garlic and Onion, meaning I'm no longer an amateur chef and my kitchen never smells ;)

I like to remain active with my daily runs, and love to have a fun time when I'm not working, whether it's exploring the city, playing video games, or swing dancing. I'm a very social person and I love meeting new friends, however, I value relaxation time and quiet settings.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm hoping to find a place to stay at until I find suitable student accommodation in Kiel :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was stuck in Ethiopia's airport for four days!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to share with you lots of food as I love cooking! We can both share our expertise in cooking but don't worry if you can't cook, we can always order pizza haha.

I can teach you Design Thinking, or at least the philosophy of it. Maybe a bit of swing dancing (I'm still a beginner haha), and definitely running!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food and groceries, random adventures, a good laugh, and a great company :)
