Hey everyone, my name is Aziz and I live in Kuwait City, Kuwait!

I've been using Couchsurfing mainly to meet up with locals during my travels or to hangout with travelers at home. I also host and surf from time to time. At this point, I cannot host anyone in Kuwait, but I'll gladly take you on a local's tour of Kuwait. I’m always traveling or busy at times so I don’t know my schedule far in advance so messaging me no more than one week before your arrival is ideal.

I'm passionate about everything that elevates the human experience whether through technology, education, economics, or sound public policy. I'm attracted to ideas that have the potential to improve the standard of living and quality of human life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet locals and learn about different points of view.
Clarify misconceptions and discover the human experience at its many facets.

Interests

Big sports fan. My favorite sports are soccer, American football, basketball, boxing, tennis, and handball (in that order).

Scuba diving. Been doing it since I was 14. Anything water-related really: swimming, fishing, sailing, free diving.

I also love food (who doesn't ?!) and I’m a part owner of a chain of Acai shops.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Arabic if you are up for the challenge.
I would love to learn about your country, culture, and traditions.
Let's share travel stories, a meal, or a cup of tea/coffee.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Kuwait is not really touristy. Most travel forums recommend not to visit the country, but you should! Kuwait is all about its people and culture, and not so much about its places or touristy attractions.

Let's a share a traditional Kuwaiti meal and some tea after. I can share my knowledge of the region's history, culture, politics, and social life.
