Hi everyone, my name is Ali and I'm from Bahrain! I'm love learning about other cultures, food, books, singing, dancing, and of course travelling. One of my biggest passions is also language learning. I speak English (native), Arabic (advanced), and Hindi (beginner) so if you speak any of these I'd love to practice with you.

Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing
I'm on Couchsurfing because I want to truly understand a country and its culture when I visit, and not simply go to the main touristy sights and leave. I want to discover what its really like to live and be from a place, and get to know the hidden gems. And of course, I want to meet new people from around the world and make new friends. :)

Jedna niesamowita rzecz, którą zrobiłem/am
The achievement or experience I'm most proud of is acting in a play in Edinburgh about the refugee crisis, and meeting refugees from around the world so I can help tell their story to audiences.
Ucz, Ucz się, Dziel się
I can teach you some traditional Bahraini recipes, as well as some Arabic phrase! I'd love for you to teach me some local phrases and maybe even a recipe from your cuisine.
Co mogę zaoferować Hostom
I'd love to share more about Bahrain and the Middle East with my host, including some recipes for a Bahraini breakfast, which is quite unique. :)
