I'm Issam from Algeria, currently doing research on Turkic, Scandinavian and Chinese languages. My old Couchsurfing account was lost, but I'm slowly trying to build this account back up.

Depending on the season and availability, I can host in my family House in Nedroma or in Tlemcen, and occasionally in Oran and Algiers when I'm situated there.

Even if I can't host or you're not looking for accommodation , I'd still love to meet people for a chat and a laugh. I can guide travellers around Algiers, Oran and especially Tlemcen since those are the places that I happen to be at the most.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people while travelling and help travellers who are passing nearby.

Interests

I'm a language and classical music nerd, I love to learn about people's native tongues and cultues. Sometimes even when I'm not showing it, I'm probably analyzing your dialect while you're talking, just something that I can't help doing haha

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Paragliding in Djerba, Tunisia.

Travelling from South to North Turkey for multiple days, using local buses and relying on my barely existent Turkish, spending nights in random small villages.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you the History of the different regions of Algeria.

I would love to learn from you what is it like being from where you are and what music would you say best describes where you're from.
