Overview
About Me
I’m Isa from Bahrain. I’m passionate about solo travel and discovering cultures around the world. I love collecting souvenirs and connecting with locals everywhere I go—because the best part of travel is the people you meet and the stories you share.
I’m into sailing, motorcycling, and diving. I find peace on the sea, freedom on the road, and magic under water.
I’m currently planning a campervan trip across the Swiss Alps and a longer 3-month work-from-anywhere journey across Europe.
If you’re ever in Bahrain and need local tips—places to see, things to do, or even someone to hang out with—I’m happy to help.
I’m deeply passionate about the ocean, adventure, and cultural experiences. Whether it’s sailing, riding along coastal roads, exploring nature, or just enjoying good food—I’m always up for a meaningful connection.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love the idea of global connection. For me, Couchsurfing is more than just accommodation—it’s about cultural exchange, new friendships, and sharing the world through stories, food, and experiences.
