Hiya!!!

My name is Yusra, I'm 20 years old and I am from London. I'm a university student studying Psychology and I finished my gap year last year!! I love traveling to new countries and learning about different cultures, which is exactly why I'm on couchsurfing! I hope to make new friends abroad and share our cultures and languages. I particularly love travel photography so if you know anywhere that's good for taking photos or wanna participate in any photoshoots than hit me up!! You can also check out my instagram page (@alz.photog) for some examples of my work! I also love reading and writing short stories and poetry and I feel like traveling and meeting different people gives me so much inspiration and helps me unleash my creative side.

Also, if you're ever down in London feel free to message me (girls only) and I'll be more than willing to show you around!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing as I think it's such a cool way to meet new people and make more personal relationships with people across the globe; far better than staying in an over priced hotel where it's hard to meet and befriend locals!! I would love to go to Japan and Korea (Korea is ticked off now!) so I would like to couchsurf and get to know some cool people who can show me around and assist me in the language! Other places such as Switzerland, Turkey, Hong Kong, New Zealand and more are definitely on my lists :-)

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite movie is by far a walk to remember, it's cheesy but I love it and I've cried because of it too many times! There's too many books that I love that I cannot pin down one! I absolutely love Marissa Meyer's lunar chronicle series, The Thorne of Glass series and classics such as Jane Eyre and Great Expectations :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I went paragliding over the sea near Pataya, Thailand.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to teach others my culture and love of languages and share my experiences. I would also love to learn in return other people's cultures, experiences and languages. Sharing amazing memories is definitely a must!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share with my hosts some positive memories and hold long, intellectual and meaningful discussions. Most of all I would share my gratitude and appreciation for letting me stay in their homes!!
