Hi there! 👋 My name is Habib Rekik, and I’m passionate about biodiversity conservation and wildlife care. I lead the ResQ Program within the ATVS (Association Tunisienne de la Vie Sauvage), where my team and I rescue, treat, and release wild animals back into their natural habitats. I’m also a computer engineer who loves solving complex challenges and creating efficient systems (currently workin as a Digital manufacturing Consultant).

Music is a huge part of my life. I’m the singer for the folk metal band Ymyrgar, a baritone with the Tunis Opera Choir, and I’m currently learning to play jazz guitar. Whether I’m performing on stage, harmonizing in a choir, or exploring a new musical style, music is where I find both inspiration and connection.

In my free time, I enjoy nature, tackling tech projects, and brainstorming ideas to make the world a better place. If you love wildlife, music, or just good company, I’d love to connect!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As someone passionate about nature, wildlife, and music, I believe in the value of sharing knowledge and interests. Whether you want to chat about conservation, jam to folk metal or opera, or discuss the best jazz guitar tips, I’m all in!
I’m excited to meet people, hear your stories, and share a little bit of my own!
