Hello everyone!

My name is Nathan , a Franco-Lebanese doctor currently residing and practicing in the vibrant city of Paris. Originally hailing from Beirut, I spent 28 enriching years immersed in the cultural tapestry of Lebanon before embarking on my journey to Paris. Now, amidst the bustling streets and picturesque avenues of this iconic city, I find myself drawn to the allure of exploration and connection.

I'm here on Couchsurfing because I thrive on connecting with individuals from diverse backgrounds and immersing myself in various cultures. I have a deep appreciation for the unique perspectives and insights that come from meeting new people, especially locals, who offer a firsthand glimpse into their way of life. Whether it's sharing stories, exploring hidden gems, or simply engaging in meaningful conversations, I cherish the opportunity to foster genuine connections and broaden my understanding of the world around me through Couchsurfing.

Interests

My interests span a spectrum of activities that nourish both my body and mind. Engaging in yoga and meditation practices allows me to cultivate inner peace and mindfulness, grounding me amidst life's hustle and bustle. I find solace in the pages of a good book, exploring realms of spirituality, personal growth, and philosophy. Nature beckons me with its beauty, prompting me to embark on invigorating hikes and immerse myself in its tranquil embrace. Music is a constant companion, whether I'm listening to soul-stirring melodies or tapping my feet to rhythmic beats. Exploring local cafes, savoring a cup of coffee, and soaking in the ambiance are cherished moments of relaxation and connection. Staying active through sports energizes me, while the serenity of swimming offers a therapeutic escape. These pursuits not only fuel my passions but also enrich my journey towards holistic well-being.
