I'm an easy going, open-minded adventurer with a lot of stories. I've been traveling for 3 years around Europe and living in Middle East, studying Arabic intensively and working at schools and NGOs. I'm moving to Berlin this Spring after a few more months in Jordan. I love mountains and deserts and sweet people.
I'm quite danceable and I really love monkey climbing on rocks and having deep discussions about anything. Oh yes and I find happiness in learning. Never want to stop learning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've basically heard for years that couchsurfing is legit and such a direct way to meet really interesting open people. If you're interesting and nice, I'd really like to meet you.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have studied language pedagogy and psychology pretty extensively and have a lot of juicy knowledge to offer. I used to work as an assistant to CEOs in Silicon Valley and had to become a wizard of organizing chaos, and found that organization skills are a major asset to living—so I can offer you a lot of helpful advice in that area too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm also really good at spatial puzzles so if you've got a knot in a little chain or a disassembled contraption, I'm sure I can untangle it and assemble it!
