I’m Jihen, an architect and entrepreneur from Tunisia, passionate about design, culture, and connecting with people from around the world. I’m adventurous, curious, and open-minded. My journey has taken me from working on innovative architectural projects to exploring leadership and youth programs globally. Traveling for me is not just about seeing places—it’s about living stories and exchanging perspectives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe the best way to experience a city is through the eyes of its people. Couchsurfing gives me the chance to connect with locals, learn about their lifestyle, and share my own culture. I’m not just looking for a place to stay—I’m looking for genuine human connection.

Teach, Learn, Share
