CURRENT MISSION Making Heathy Soil and Sexy Compost Toilets!! ABOUT ME A conscientious being like others PHILOSOPHY "balanced dualistic ONEss"
🍷 Please read before sending a request 🍷 1️⃣ Don’t be shy – introduce yourself! (I promise I don’t bite… unless there’s pizza involved). 2️⃣ Share the exact dates you’d like to stay – not your entire world tour 😉 (note: stays are for a maximum of 3 nights). About Me I’m a foodie and wine lover – give me a glass of red and a plate of something delicious, and I’m already happy. I love traveling, discovering new places, and swapping stories with people from around the world. Music keeps me moving, laughter keeps me young, and silly jokes are basically my second language. Life’s too short to be serious all the time, so I try to enjoy the ride and sprinkle a bit of positivity wherever I go.

Hi, I’m Ikram & I’ve been living in beautiful Madeira for the past 4 years, and I’d love to help you discover more of the island. 🌴🚗 To be honest, Madeira is difficult to explore properly without a car, especially if you want to visit the hidden spots and enjoy the amazing views. If you need any help getting around or would like to visit somewhere, feel free to reach out to me. I’d be happy to share my experience, recommend places, and maybe even make a new friend along the way. 😊☕️🌄 No pressure at all just good vibes, good conversation, and enjoying this beautiful island. ✨ And if you’re up for it, I can be your unofficial tour guide, with a boyfriend type of treatment and a friendly vibe included don’t be freaked haha😂🌿☕️🌅 Feel free to message me anytime! 🙏🏻
PLEASE read this bit first 🙏 I get a lot of requests. If I don’t answer right away, please don’t take it personally—I’m probably just out of bandwidth. Sometimes I need a hosting break for my own sanity, so you may get a quick “Sorry, not available this time.” Nothing to do with you! ⸻ What makes me say “yes” • Complete profile with photos and references. Couchsurfing is a culture, not free Airbnb. • Dates: Your best chance is Friday → Monday. Weeknights are possible but I’m picky. • Length: 2–5 nights is the sweet spot. One-nighters are too rushed; & more than 5 nights is too long. • Clear ask: Tell me the exact dates you need—no “when are you free?” puzzles. ⸻ Current Mission Live, travel, stay free, and keep learning what conscious life really means. ⸻ About Me (the short version) Stardust in human form. Philosopher by nature, athlete by habit, musician by passion, polyglot when caffeinated. I chase happiness but respect the growth that comes from a little well-timed suffering—Spinoza would approve.
No home based at the moment. My home based was Cyprus for 3 years. Digital Nomad since 2020. Traveled over +35 countries. Lived in +9 countries. In 2023, I took 3 months off (from phone and computer) to volunteer in an ashram with kids, living in a tibetan monastery and in Osho meditation center in Nepal. " No need to run... and hide... It's a wonderful, wonderful life ! "
