Hi, I’m Malika from France! I spent 10 years as a volunteer firefighter and worked in different jobs, but what I enjoy most is traveling solo with no fixed plans. I love meeting people and discovering new cultures and ways of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m here because traveling is about people! I want to share, connect, and experience places through locals’ eyes.

Books: Photography books.

Music: I enjoy all kinds of music! Everyday pop, rock, and chill vibes. On sunny days I love Latin music, when I need motivation I go for US rap, and when I’m working on my pictures I like listening to classical music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once in India, I ended up going to Pakistan without really planning it. I took a bus through the northern mountains, where a landslide blocked the road for over 10 hours. No food, no toilets, and I was one of the very few women there. When night came, the bus moved again… only to be stopped by another landslide. Some men invited me to cross it by foot with them and then share a taxi. So there I was, walking on rocks at night in Pakistan with strangers, before being welcomed by a local family. It was crazy and unforgettable! And I thought to myself: what am I doing in Pakistan, alone in the mountains, without knowing what to do?! 😂

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share some French basics, and stories from my travels. I’d love to learn about your culture, your way of life, or even a few words in your language. Most of all, I enjoy sharing good conversations, laughter, and positive energy.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories from my travels, good company, and lots of positive energy. I love exchanging moments, conversations, and laughter with people from all over the world.
