CURRENT MISSION

Feeling home wherever I go

ABOUT ME

After having lived in four different countries, finally settled in Austria in September 2024.

I have been on Couchsurfing for over 13 years, and during that time I have met so many great people, some of which has truly touched upon my life and become a family member.

An open minded and easy going person looking to meet similar minded couchsurfers to get to know them, their culture, food, routines, travel stories and so on. I strongly believe that getting out of comfort zone is key to really discovering the places and the people.

I am also fan of several sports, first and foremost padel which I have been playing since years. I also enjoy the gym, pingpong, tennis (and to watch) football and basketball.

Really into cooking and trying new food, finding new and less popular cafe and cocktail bars, as well as locals' prefered food spots.

My friends would probably describe me as optimistic, cheerful and positive person, always eager to walk walk walk (until someone finds it extremely long!) and adventurous.

I believe that the diversity is richness, in many senses. I enjoy meaningful & genuine conversations, including on topics like health, sports, travels, international relations.

PHILOSOPHY

Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.
Rumi

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met great people from different countries some of which had an immense effect on my life, in a very positive way. When I turn back and look at Couchsurfing, I realize that my life could be totally different had I not discovered this platform.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Riding camels and spend the night in the middle of desert in Southeastern Morocco, eating local food while watching thousands of stars on the sky and staying in an super cold tent before riding the camel back to the city at sunrise! That was in 2016, and when I lived in a country where I could do these much more easily afterwards (Mauritania), the lesson I learnt was: enjoy every moment the maximum possible! Because such moments are unique. They may not feel too special afterwards, but when they do, just feel the vibe.

Participating a local festival in Man, Ivory Coast where the tribal chiefs took us to a forest to feed the chimpanzees by hands!

Having a long trip to the South of Tunisia, discovering the Amazigh culture of the country and seeing beautiful Djerba.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help to learn the languages that I speak, the food that I cook, and to play padel. It could also be nice to go out for photography.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my travel stories and my positive mood with the hosts! And likewise be pleased to share theirs.
