ABOUT ME

Lebanese living in Central America. Medical anthropologist, future doctor. I love travelling (obviously!), hammocks, hitchhiking, languages, photography, books, and so many other things. Most of all I love people and being reminded that really, depite fear-mongering news, we are generally a pretty cool bunch!

Libanesa viviendo en Centroamérica. Antropóloga medica, futura doctora. Me encanta viajar (Obvio!), las hamacas, viajar de aventón (raide/jalón), las idiomas, la fotografía, los libros y muchas otras cosas. Mas que todo me encantan las demás personas, y que me recuerdan que a pesar de noticias que siembran miedo, al fin de cuenta somos todos bastante buena onda!

PHILOSOPHY

Always choose risk over regret, always seek to have your opinions challenged...and never forget to pack one more pair of underwear than you think you'll need!

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Because, in a world that can often be pretty depressing and full of greed and unkindness, Couchsurfing is where I come to remember all the good things. I have met so many wonderful people, so many friends for life, and had so many amazing experiences!

Centres d'intérêt

Human rights, making friends, live music, banana bread, outrageous travel plans. Those are a few of my favourite things.

Things that are important to me: migration and migrant rights, public health, feminism (intersectional!!!), the Palestinian struggle.
