Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

Couchsurfing is a great alternative to staying in a hotel--I can meet new people, learn about their perspectives in their home and have a more culturally informed experience over all! Basically it combines my favorite activity (traveling) with my favorite thing to do while traveling (making friends)!!

Interessen

hiking paths, city streets, smiles between strangers, and tabouleh...my simple pleasures/life sources. What are yours?!

Musik, Filme und Bücher

Favorite Bands: was raised on American folk music and Egyptian classics...big lover of indie rock and have been recently allowing myself to lean in and listen to full on country music

Movies: I have entirely memorized the My Big Fat Greek Wedding script, currently on a journey with the director Terrence Malik's movies...requires a lot of patience to get through his 3+ hour films but seems now to be very worth it!

Books: Slouching Towards Bethlehem (or anything) by Joan Didion, also pretty much anything by James Baldwin, Mary Oliver. One really great book I just finished is called How to Do Nothing by Jenny Odell, absolutely a book people in our time should read and consider!
