I'm Nati and have pretty much lived in London my whole life. Have spent a lot of time traveling when I was younger and lived in US and Vietnam for a bit. Now I live in East London and spend a lot of time running a little social enterprise that helps people connect with nature in the city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I first started couchsurfing back in 2010 on big trip around the world. I met so many beautiful and amazing people on my travels and surfed with great folks in Australia, NZ and Argentina. When I came back to London I enjoyed hosting people too.

I've recently re-joined CS and it's great to be back! Hoping to be able to host some people in London and also visit others on trips.

Interests

I like spending time outdoors, walking and hiking and exploring new places. I love going to gigs and seeing live music. London Fields Lido is one of my favourite places in the city.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm really into gardening and growing, permaculture and herbalism and happy to share my knowledge on these things. I'm half Egyptian and learning arabic so if anyone wants to practice or help with my pronunciation! I love cooking with others so let's share our cultures through good food :)
