Hello there! I'm Aladdin, a globe-trotting researcher with a deep passion for connecting with people.My career and educational journey have taken me across continents, from Sudan and Canada to the bustling hubs of China, and the historical richness of Spain. Each place has left its mark, shaping my global perspective and fueling my curiosity for diverse cultures. I speak Mandarin, English, and Arabic fluently, and I can hold a conversation in Spanish – always ready for a good chat or to learn something new! I love connecting with people from all walks of life, sharing stories, and learning from their experiences. Couchsurfing, to me, is more than just a travel tool; it’s a gateway to understanding the world through the eyes of locals and fellow travelers.
I am so excited to continue discovering the world and Looking forward to making new friends, sharing experiences, and continuing my journey with an open heart and mind!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm all about sharing my global perspective gained from living in places like Canada, China, Spain, and Sudan. We can dive into language exchanges too—I'm fluent in Mandarin, English, Arabic, and can get by in Spanish. Always up for a good chat!
Cooking's another passion of mine. I'd love to whip up some cultural dishes from my travels, making our mealtime a delicious adventure. Plus, I'm a great listener and enjoy exchanging life stories and experiences, it's the best way to learn and connect.
And, if you're into books, I'm more than happy to share a sneak peek or dive into discussions about writing and the themes of my work. Looking forward to sharing and learning together!
