ABOUT ME

I am an American-Palestinian girl who likes to meet new people, enjoy new places, and eat delicious food. I'm clean, friendly, and open-minded. I'm not much of a tourist, but I do like getting to know new cultures and defying the American tourist stigma!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have climbed mountains, skinny dipped, ziplined, cave-dived, scuba dived, gotten mugged, gotten severely sunburnt, seen a gay pride parade, eaten snails, surfed, been arrested (for something minor!), killed and ate a chicken, and caught a fish. I went to a witch doctor in Peru after breaking my arm mountain biking. I biked Copenhagen, spent a month in a tent, got kicked off a train in Serbia, slept with bedbugs, became a freegonist dumpster diver, drank moonshine with Berbers, and touched the Dome of the Rock. I'm looking for more adventures.
