Hey there! My name is Istabrak and I am a 23 year old swede and arab. Currently living in Uppsala studying psychology.

I am on Couchsurfing because I would love to spend time with locals, learning about the culture and sharing good laughs and valuable experiences.

I strongly believe and follow the philosophy of life not having a meaning unless you give it one. I try to live by this to the fullest by always trying to step out of my comfort-zones and seeking out new experiences. I’m like a sponge, sucking up everything around me and always learning, experiencing and loving. The most important thing for me is to stay humble. I wholeheartedly believe that everyone you meet knows something you don’t and therefore is able to teach you something.

I always try to stay as open-minded and humble as possible. Everyone has their own story to tell and I would be more than delighted to sit down with some coffee or a beer and talk.

Lastly, I really love cats with all my soul and heart, so if you have a cat you can be sure that I will give it the best scratches and rubs that it deserves!!

Here are my social media accounts if you are interested in getting to know me better! Hopefully you find me interesting enough to host and get to know a young swede for future encounters.

I love reading, but I don't know how to categorize what I read, often it's a book I found in a second-hand shop.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moved to Medellín on my own for 6 months and got fluent in spanish!

Teach, Learn, Share

Meditation enthustiast and have been practicing for almost 5 years. Open to discuss, share and explore meditation with you.

Also really into calisthentics and rockclimbing, would be super cool to find a nice wall to climb together :)

Overall I am willing to share my whole soul with you and to engage in an open conversation.
