ABOUT ME

Love photography, travel, reading, and movies. Married with a boy and a girl on the way. Grew up in Syria but been living in the US for 25 years. I"m hoping that in the next stage of my life I will do a lot more international travel so CouchSurfing, Air BNB, and greeters sounded like a great idea.

PHILOSOPHY

"On ne voit bien qu'avec le coeur...L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux"= One can only see with the heart, the essentials are invisible to the eyes"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have enrolled back in 2012 But only made one friend on it and haven’t used it since I have been either traveling with my wife or for business. Currently do not have a couch (a toddler and another baby on the way) But I can meet with surfers for coffee or dinner. Happy to give tips and show people around if time allows. I'm hoping that others around the world could do the same for me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Been on for a while but did not get to use it.
