Hi, I’m Tayeb from Algeria, currently living and working in Hanoi as an English teacher. I’ve been living abroad for a few years, so I’m very used to different cultures and respectful of people’s homes and routines. I enjoy simple things: • good conversations • discovering local life • learning how people actually live, not just tourist places I’m easygoing, clean, and independent. I don’t expect to be hosted like a guest. I adapt and respect your space. I also create content about my life abroad and travel experiences. Here's my Instagram :) mestour_tayeb

Por que estou no Couchsurfing
I use Couchsurfing to experience countries through local people. For me, it’s not about free accommodation. It’s about: • understanding culture • sharing stories • building real connections I always respect hosts’ time, space, and rules.
Música, Filmes e Livros
Music: Mostly into English pop—catchy tunes and good vibes. Books: Enjoy reading about personal growth, communication, and psychology. Some favorites include Men from Mercury and Women from Venice, How to Be a People’s Magnet?, The Secret, and How to Be Twice Smart. Movies: Love action, comedy, and thought-provoking stories. Big fan of The Bourne series, Yes Man, and The Great Gatsby. Always up for a good movie recommendation!
Uma Coisa Incrível Que Já Fiz
I once left my paid teaching job for nearly a month to volunteer in Poland as an English teacher for two weeks. I made that decision to reconnect with why I started teaching in the first place. During that time, I worked with students from different backgrounds, helped them improve their communication, and shared daily life with locals. It reminded me that teaching is not just a job for me. It is something I genuinely enjoy, especially when I can help people grow and connect across cultures.
Ensinar, Aprender, Compartilhar
Teach: English and cultural insights from Algeria, Vietnam and my past travels. Learn: Local traditions, languages, and hidden gems. Always eager to hear personal stories and different perspectives. Share: Great conversations, travel experiences, and a positive outlook on life. Also happy to share books, movie recommendations, and a love for good music!
