I’m Machaer, but everyone calls me Shay. I’m a Tunisian interior designer, painter, and language lover currently living in Spain. I love discovering places, sharing stories, and connecting with people from different cultures. Art, books, animals, and children fill my heart. I believe in kindness, curiosity, and slow coffee mornings. I’m calm, open, and always up for a meaningful exchange

Почему я на Couchsurfing
To meet beautiful souls, explore new places with a local touch, and create memories that go beyond just sightseeing. I’m here to give, learn, and grow.
Музыка, кино и книги
I love jazz, soul, and calm instrumental music. My favorite movies are those that mix deep emotion with aesthetic beauty. As for books—fiction, history, romance, and biographies are my go-to. I enjoy imagining the worlds in between the pages
Одно удивительное, что я сделал
Leaving my comfort zone to volunteer abroad and teach English in Spain for 5 months—it changed my perspective and reminded me of the beauty of simple human connection.
Учить, учиться, делиться
I can teach English, Arabic, or French, share painting techniques, interior design ideas, or just good conversation. I love learning new recipes, cultural customs, or anything creative and spiritual. Sharing art, food, and laughter is my favorite form of connection.
Что я могу предложить хостам
A calm presence, meaningful chats, help with home tasks or decoration ideas, language exchange, and good coffee rituals. I also love cooking simple Tunisian meals!
Мои интересы
I’m passionate about painting, interior design, and photography—creative outlets that let me express beauty and emotion. I love working with children and animals, and I enjoy volunteering in environments that support learning, care, and community. I’m also deeply interested in languages and cultural exchange, and I find joy in reading, walking in nature, and exploring architecture. Music—especially jazz—and moments of calm like sharing coffee are small rituals that ground me. Traveling, stargazing, and connecting with people from different backgrounds always inspire me.
