Hi!

I’m a friendly and open-minded person looking to meet others and explore!

I’m originally from the UK and now I live in Berlin. I have worked as a web developer and also as a teacher of web development in Palestine. I like languages so am always happy to speak English or German, Arabic, or learn something new!

I have changeable interests. Recently..
- I have been getting into living zero waste
- I have been swimming in lakes around Berlin a lot
- I have been weaving with the tablet weaving method popular in the Middle Ages, to make camera straps/general straps (don’t ask why)
- I would like to start doing short bike tours and maybe in the future do a long distance bicycle trip!
- I like reading/hearing fairy tales from other countries
- I love flea markets/ebay! Get everything second hand :)

But I always like to try new things and can get interested in anything, even if only briefly!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet others and learn about other people and cultures. To make real-life connections :)
