My name is Oumaima but my friends call me Umi. I'm studying International diplomacy and love travelling and meeting new people and cultures around the world.

I am an open minded person and I am looking forward to visiting the more places I can.

I love nature and throwing myself into new experiences. Adventure and new challenges attract me a lot. A dash of madness and creativity always makes things more interesting!

Moreover I really love meeting new people and listening to their stories.. There are too many things I love and I try to do as much as I can! I don't like describing myself by writing in front of this screen, I'd rather to know people and just talk in front of a cup of tea. :)

My motto is: "Life is not hard, be thankful of what you have and just smile and life will smile to you!" "Fai del bene e dimenticalo, passeranno i giorni e ti tornerà."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is my first time in Couchsurfing. I would love to try this new kind of travelling and meeting people.

Interests

I love spending time with my friends and sharing a cup of tea (moroccan mint tea obviously) or discussing about politics, religions, philosophy. I love la fiesta y la siesta!

I studied languages and I would like to learn more because a language tells you a lot of people's culture and traditions.

I love poetry and nature. I could keep looking at the sea for hours!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Italian, French, Spanish or Arabic, traditional dishes from Liguria and Morocco.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tell you about my traditions, culture and religion. There are too many stereotypes and clichés, for this reason I am always open even to the weirdest questions, those you never made because too absurd. :) Let's live our differences as a richness and above all as bridges and not as horrible walls.
