Hey there!
I’m Zakaria, but everyone calls me Zak or Ziko. I’ve been living in the UAE since 2010, and it has become my home base between adventures.
I’m spontaneous, creative, and open-minded — always ready to meet new people, explore hidden corners of cities, and share a laugh or a crazy story. I’m laid-back, low-maintenance, and love going with the flow. Life is too short to plan every detail!

Current Mission

To travel the world, connect with amazing souls, and exchange stories that make us all see the world in a better light.

My Philosophy

Live in the moment and enjoy every breath.
Be yourself — pretending to be someone else only steals your happiness (I’ve learned that the hard way).
My life goal is simple: meet as many people and see as many places as possible, while collecting stories, smiles, and memories along the way.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Because people make places meaningful.
I love meeting travelers, learning about their cultures, and sharing experiences over food, laughter, or deep talks. I enjoy cooking local dishes (and learning new ones), taking photos and videos, exploring cities by bike, and sometimes even acting or editing short travel clips for Tiktok 😜 (#ESSALMIKA)

兴趣

Cooking, movies, fun activities and clubbing (sometimes not anymore🤪)

• cooking
• rafting
• local cuisine

音乐、电影和书籍

Depends of my mood how it looks like but priority to : Classic, jazz and pop as Music
Action and horror as Movies
I enjoy stories about food, culture, and travel, anything that feeds the mind and soul.
