Looking for an adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm always excited to try new things and explore new places. I really enjoy meeting new people; strangers are just friends I haven't met yet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed Pike's Peak which is a pretty big mountain in Colorado.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn about the culture and language of other people. I speak a bit of Arabic as a result and am happy to teach Arabic or English.

I'm a beginner on the ukulele and am working on learning how to play. I can teach most of the basic chords on the ukulele but I'm also happy to learn any new instrument.

Recently I've started to explore more in the kitchen with my recent breakthrough being in all the dishes you can make with coconut milk. Totally up to share anything I know in the kitchen and excited to learn about local food.

I'm also involved in the local dance scene to an extent and I know how to do several ballroom dances such as waltz, tango, and foxtrot. I also know some more informal dances such as swing dance.

What I Can Share with Hosts

More than happy to cook provided I can my hands on the right ingredients! I'm also up to talk and discuss almost anything especially anything related to culture or language. I have also accumulated a few stories that I can tell and I'm also excited to just be a listening ear.

I've also got a decent arm to throw a football, frisbee, etc. I enjoy playing sports and am always up for a quick sports game.
