CURRENT MISSION

Elaborating a new research project in Social Anthropology

ABOUT ME

I am a sociable being, who loves listening to people's stories.
Good food, good drinks, dancing and laughing are my ingredients for an enjoyable time.

Over all, I have lived in Lebanon, in France and in Germany.
I have also sojourned for shorter periods in Morocco, in Côte d'Ivoire, in Senegal and in Burkina Faso.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couchsurfing has been a priceless resource over the past years. So far I had the chance to be hosted by generous souls. I am hoping soon to have my own house and host surfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Most of my experiences "couchsurfing" were spontaneous - as in, just running into nice people who offered me a roof.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in Berlin was quite the adventure

Teach, Learn, Share

My dream is to become a teacher. Therefore, I am generally more than eager to teach and explain things.
I can help you with your language learning (Arabic or French) and I can show you my cooking tricks.

Generally, I am very crafty and I love learning how to do things with my hands. I am currently learning how to knit, crochet and throw on the wheel. I have better skills at painting and drawing, but I could use some coaching.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to share stories, tales, knowledge, ideas, songs, jokes...
