“ You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great “

I used to be the kid who couldn’t sit still, always daydreaming about faraway places, fascinating cultures, and the people I’d meet along the way. So, I did the only logical thing, I started learning languages to bridge the gap between me and the world, and that one step turned into a whole adventure.
Somewhere along the way, I found my passion for photography, which gave me a whole new reason to fall head over heels in love with travel, and suddenly every trip became more than just a memory it became a story I could share forever.

• Why I Travel •

For me, I don't just want to visit places, i want to live them. It’s about more than new destinations. It’s about the people. Put me in a room full of good people, and I’m in my element. Whether it’s swapping stories, learning new perspectives, or just sharing a laugh, those moments fuel my soul, inspire me, teache me, and opens my eyes to the beauty of diversity. I’ve been called adventurous, curious, and maybe a little too eager to saying "yes" to life’s wild invitations.

• What Keeps Me Going •

I’m extroverted, open-minded, and just a little obsessed with stepping out of my comfort zone. You’ll find me chasing those experiences that make life extraordinary.

• My Current Mission •

To thrive, grow, and soak up life’s lessons while being fully present in every moment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because traveling isn’t just about places, it’s about people. I believe the best way to truly experience a destination is through the eyes of those who live there. Couchsurfing gives me the chance to connect with incredible people, learn about their cultures firsthand, and share stories that no guidebook could ever tell.

I’m here to build genuine connections, exchange ideas, and maybe even teach you a few phrases in the languages I’ve picked up. In return, I’ll share some crazy travel stories, cook you a meal, and capture memories with my camera (you might just end up with a professional portrait 😉).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can teach you some Arabic (and a few phrases from the other languages I’ve picked up) and share tips and tricks to level up your photography game.

What I Can Share with Hosts
