I'm half German, half Syrian. I currently live in Beirut, where i'm a reporter for the local Daily Star newspaper. I grew up by the sea in Oman and love all things ocean-related, and recently developed a new interest in surfing.

I'm keen to meet new people, be shown new culture and music and reciprocate.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This seems like the best way to meet locals, especially when traveling alone as i plan to do.

Music, Movies, and Books

Very into Latin and African music - If its Afro-Latin, chances are its great. Also into the standard Blues/Jazz and Reggae.
Very open to new music.

Books-wise, I'm into existential stories and non-fiction related to Lebanon and the Middle East.

Not a big movie person, more into documentaries related to history, nature, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
