*please read my whole profile before texting me*

Uh hello there 👋🏻
My name is Ali and I consider myself as a safe space for all kind of people. I genuinely LOVE to connect with travelers by getting a glimpse into their life. I’m always amazed & fascinated when people tell me about their personal story. I‘m a soul searcher and look for likeminded people beyond their nationality.💆🏻

Now some hard facts about me:

🔆I graduated college in 3 majors. I studied educational science BA (3 years), teachers degree BEd (4 years) & psychotherapeutic preparatory (2 years)

🔆 Currently I work as a teacher in a primary school for children with special needs (ADHD, Autism, Tourette etc.)

🔆 If you want to stay with me, you have to be queer-friendly 🏳️‍🌈 (LGBTQIA) & respect other sexualities.

🔆 I speak 7 languages at least at A1-Level.

🔆 I‘m altruistic & love to help and share the things I own -
but if I feel like someone takes advantage of me I will stop the resources.

🔆 I‘m very much an extrovert & like to socialize with people.

🔆 I have 4 siblings and I‘m the youngest.

🔆Traveling has an healing effect on me & if i could I would travel 365 days a year.

🔆 Elephants are my spiritual animals. They are gentle giants that never forget about places and family 🥺🐘

Now thats about me - i‘m already keen on the things you are about to tell me! Can‘t wait to connect with you! 🙌🏻👏🏻

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to connect with people from all over the place ☺️ I want to exchange about our lives and be inspired by their stories. I want to brighten up my horizon, by learning about different customs, habits and cultures. I assume that we never stop evolving and developing as human beings. ❤️

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

☀️With 18 I travelled the first time on my own. I flew to the Netherlands and worked there as a counselor in a dutch summer camp. It was my best summer ever!! 🥺

☀️With 20 I have organised my own project to bring together different cultures in Innsbruck. It was an amazing event with national dishes, dances, games and music. The participants had the opportunity to learn from each others culture.

☀️I travelled across the US on my own with 22 & I loved it!

☀️The most rewarding job I ever did was working as a caregiver to parentless children. That job was very demanding, but also very rewarding. 💚 This gave so much sense to my life! 🥺

What I Can Share with Hosts

✨I like to talk about mental health, especially with men, because they tend to keep quiet about it and suffer silently. I want to offer a safe space in which people can open up, without feeling judged.

✨I would love to help out in your apartment or house. My mother used to be a cleaning lady thats why I tend to be clean.

✨If you have children I can help them with their homework or work on a certain subject, if I have the capability in that field.

✨I would love to cook for us - of course with vegetarian or vegan option 🌱
