About Me

What is the most important thing to me?

Randomly meeting and connecting with other genuine human beings through dignity, respect, and love.

I enjoy being proven wrong and get high off questioning existence.

I like to challenge myself and the way I perceive the world. This ranges from speaking foreign languages and experiencing culture shock to improvising music and being a goofball. I can take certain things seriously, but I am far from a serious person :).

I hope my energy has been transcribed in a way that makes you feel inclined to send me a message.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Spontaneity. I am spontaneous and I thrive off meeting people spontaneously. It's strange that it has taken me this long to start using CS because it seems like a genuine community where you can meet people whose connections could last a lifetime.

I've heard amazing stories from so many different people that have used Couchsurfing across the world. I want to be able to meet more people from different cultures and I hope to host like minded people at my flat here in Amman, Jordan. I'm all about hospitality, meeting people, and having a good time. This is the ideal community for me.

Music, Movies, and Books

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Body of Lies
Desiring Arabs
Something Wicked This Way Comes
The Arab of the Desert
Collusion Across the Jordan

Music...this list could last for eternity so I'll try to sum up my musical sentiment.

I appreciate any music that is made with genuine artistic intentions.

Could be Acid Jazz, Baroque period Classical Music, Deep House, Choby, Progressive Rock, Space Rock, Folk music, but genres are endless and music is timeless so to be honest I prefer to listen to something and see where it takes me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went from not being able to say anything in Arabic to being conversationally competent within 6 months.

Teach, Learn, Share

Learning is my number one passion in life. My definition of learning is basically existing every day and living every second of life with all of my heart.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good vibes...oh and of course my good looks and charm.

On a more serious note...I'm a genuine person and I hope you have been able to feel that after reading my profile. Respect is a big deal to me. That is why I will be so incredibly grateful and respectful to any person that is kind enough to extend their couch to me whether it's for 1 night or 1 week.

Peace!
