ABOUT ME

After spending some months in Thailand, I'm living in Riyadh. Since they've now started issuing Tourist VISAs, it's something to think about!

I love traveling, scuba, karaoke, live music and dancing, concerts, exploring the sites and food joints around town and showing folks around. The "Weekend" is Friday/Saturday here.

I'm also active in the local music, theater and improv scene.

PHILOSOPHY: It is what it is.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have a nice place with room for 2-3 people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In San Antonio, Texas, USA, I had the pleasure of hosting a wide variety of folks from all over (see my page), and have had a great time every time.

Teach, Learn, Share
