Hello everyone and welcome to my profile, I’m a Palestinian music composer, from Nazareth / Haifa and I recently finished my studies in Bologna, Italy, masters degree in Music composition

Hobbies? Piano and Tennis, but Tennis is more than just a hobby for me. Recently I’m focusing in chess too ♟️

Originally I come from the Upper Galilee, next to Nazareth and Haifa cities, and I come from a Christian small village, (though not I’m not a believer).

As a Palestinian, the most complicated question for me is “where are you from”… well, the land is called Palestine but the current “country” in which I live is is called “Israel” 🙃

A capricorn wolf ♑️ 🐺 when I was born, the moon was full and on Water element zodiac (Cancer), that’s why I have the art side deep in me.

Philosophy - don’t judge people based on their ethnicity, look, beliefs, etc. But instead judge them based on their humanity and inner soul.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When traveling, I would like to meet new people from new cultures, to enjoy adventures together, and I would like to show my city & culture to my guests
