About Me

I'm a risk-taker, rebellious business student who believes in "do not go with the flow, be the flow ."
she isn't sure if she will make it in this life or not but still feels she is on the right path and won't give up on dreaming and challenging her fears.
A dreamy Tunisian girl wants to enjoy every day of her life to the fullest and strives to be a better version of herself.
I have launched my own startup back home with the goal of one day becoming a pioneer in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. I am passionate about life, art, photography, filmmaking, and especially business and entrepreneurship so we can have many interesting conversations if you want.
someone who is insatiably curious about all things diverse and people's stories.
I firmly believe in Elif Shafak's saying "The universe is one being. Everything and everyone is interconnected through an invisible web of stories. Whether we are aware of it or not, we are all in a silent conversation."
ultimately, we are all stories, and I cannot wait to share mine with you and hear yours.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am frequently questioned why I seek to travel and crave to know strangers. 
I hope to find something to fall in love with. I want to widen my eyes and heart so that I can see more than what I have read about in books and seen in movies. I want to hear about people's experiences, feelings, worries, and regrets as well as how they surmounted them.
Likewise, after policies, religions, and visas divide us, I'll travel to renew my faith in humanity and in mankind. I'll get to know people, cultures, and myself better. As I've always said, I don't climb mountains so that the world can see me at the top; instead, I go up to see the world from the top.
Simply, I want to become a citizen of the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I genuinely enjoy listening to many genres of music. is something on a continuum where, at one end, I listen to every mainstream pop song currently being produced and, at the other end, I listen to a variety of (mostly Western) popular songs over the last 40–50 years, along with some jazz and classical music. My musical preferences are so varied and I love music so much that I can appreciate most musical genres. I like the music of the 1960s, as well as blues, country, rock, synthwave, grunge, and chiptune. Even if I don't like any genre in its whole, I like a little (or a lot) of something in each.
Depending on my mood, I can pretty much listen to anything and like it.
and if you want to know one thing about me , you should know that I am a cinophile person . I love movies and I am a passionate viewer of Cinema Paradiso Movie , it's one of the closest movies to my heart .it got me back to the core of Cinema ..to the dream ..it is an amazing movie full of love , nostalgia ,sadness ,dreams and imagination ..with a special touch of Morricone music that was strongly present making it a masterpiece ..just the music make you whine ..
Cinema Paradiso dares the audience to dream, to reflect, to ground oneself in reality but also to embrace the beauty of life .I can write about it all the day and I won't stop (you should see my eyes and my admiration when I talk about it ).
Additionally, I used to read a lot of books. Although I don't have as much time as I once did, I still try to read one book every two months. If you're interested, I can recommend a few. The 40 Rules of Love by Elif Shafak has to be the first one because it's the only book I've ever read that I wouldn't get tired of reading every day for the rest of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe in Madisyn Taylor when she said “Every person on this planet has a story to tell, something that makes them unique adding to the whole.”
I am therefore eager to learn about EVERYTHING at ANY TIME.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share with you my rich Tunisian culture, my passion for filmmaking and photography and books, my dreams and my crazy bucket list, my creative ideas, and my love for life and human beings.
If you are a language lover, I can teach you some Arabic or French or I can share some of our Tunisian food with you.
and hopefully some genuine laughs and great memories ♥.
