I'm Fateh, Fateh-Eddine Boumendjel. This is my real full name and you can check on Google!
I'm a traditional muslim but also a -relatively- openminded citizen of the world who traveled a lot in many countries on 3 continents, apreciated by a lot of friends of different cultures around the world.
I'm married. I have a lot of children. I'm teaching at university, since a long time.
I'm still living at my parents' house (that's why I can't accept guests!) but I'll try to do my best to help visitors in my town (despite my little disability, that, unfortunatly, make me a bit of a homebody!), especially if it's on my hollidays (because along the year I'm working 60km far from home!).
You must know that, as a traditional muslim, I don't drink alcohol, never smoke "nothing", don't consume any kind of drugs, don't touch women (exept my wife[s]), don't participate in party nor dancing/singing....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To help people visiting and knowing more my town and my country.
Conecting with different people around the world.
For any eventual travel around the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm teaching Islamic Law at university, in arabic (so that's what I can teach easily!). I'm also teaching History of Law and Humanitarian Law, so, I will talk about history (of my town, my country and some of the world history). I can also say that I'm, more or less, fluent in french too (so far better than english!).
I always like to know more about other cultures, languages and people around the world.
And I will share my own culture with others and let them try all what is exotic for them in my country (food, drink, clothes, arts, places history, ...).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to share my own culture (religion, language, customs, history,...) with others and let them try all what is exotic for them in my country (food, drink, clothes, arts, places history, ...). I can also share my experiences of life and learning.
