Engineer by degree, entrepreneur by choice, human by mission. I’m Natheer, born and raised in Tripoli, Lebanon, a Mediterranean soul with a passion for connection, cultural exchange, and building things that matter. I’ve spent the past 15+ years growing businesses, traveling across the world, and using my camera, bike, and words to make sense of the world around me. I believe in people, in stories, and in shared moments, whether it’s over a simple meal, a deep conversation, or a spontaneous road trip. I’m currently involved in civic work, running for municipal elections in my hometown, and running a start-up. I don’t surf or host as often as I used to, but I still carry the Couchsurfing spirit wherever I go: open doors, open minds, and open hearts.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
My first CS experience was meeting with Ezgi and Noyan in Eskisehir in 2012. I and Ezgi met through CS and we really enjoyed the night under the heavy rain of turkey. It's when it all started, I wanted to offer the same experience to travelers from around the world wherever I lived.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
- Climbed the lion head in Capetown - Photography instructor for over 100 kids in a workshop in Akkar, north Lebanon, where kids were from both Syria and Lebanon. - Cycled almost 100km all by myself in Lebanon, until my pedals got so hot the plastic actually melted. - Free Hugs, in both Lebanon and Turkey
