Overview
About Me
I'm a Tunisian architect based in Istanbul since 2015. I studied for my bachelor's degree at Istanbul Kultur University and was a part of an exchange program (Erasmus 2017) In Barcelona. I am currently doing a master's degree at Istanbul Technical University-Urban planning. Enough with the academic background and now into the real me.
I can identify myself as a very positive easygoing person, an art lover, and especially very fond of photography. It's always been a pleasure for me to meet new people from different countries as it has always widened my perspective and my point of view regarding life, social relationships, and finding my true self as well.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I really am good at communicating, I can be funny sometimes and I'm so excited to be able to know new cultures, and especially new ways of thinking and seeing life. Having a decent level of general culture and an open mind is a must to be able to communicate well!
I promise you a really good company full of information about my roots.
But the thing is that I'm only available as a tour guide around the city and I'm sorry that i'm not able to host you at my house.
Interests
I love photography watercolor drawing and Yoga. Discussing everything about life is a hobby for me as well. I am the kind of people who dedicate a lot of time to understand things and process them and I love to meet people who actually share such an interest in life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I visited LYON for the lights festival alone and I found no host on couchsurfing neither a cheap hostel where to stay but I decided to spend the night in the train station because in the morning I had a bus to Geneva. at midnight they kicked me out of the station because it closes at night (didn't know about that) and I spent 5 hours standing on the highway in -1 degrees
Teach, Learn, Share
