Hi! I’m Mazen مازن , originally from Lebanon, currently living in Louisiana, USA. I’m passionate about traveling, meeting people, and discovering new cultures. I’m a foodie —I love exploring local cuisines, tasting authentic dishes, and experimenting with cooking. Sharing a meal is one of my favorite ways to connect with people, whether I’m cooking for someone or learning a new recipe from them. I consider myself open-minded, curious, and always eager to learn something new, whether it’s a local custom, a unique dish, or a different perspective on life.

¡Hola! Soy Mazen originalmente de Líbano, actualmente viviendo en Luisiana, EE. UU. Soy un apasionado de los viajes, de conocer gente nueva y de descubrir nuevas culturas. Soy un amante de la comida en todos los sentidos: me encanta explorar cocinas locales, probar platos auténticos y experimentar en la cocina. Compartir una comida es una de mis formas favoritas de conectar con las personas, ya sea cocinando para alguien o aprendiendo una receta nueva de ellos. Me considero una persona abierta, curiosa y siempre con ganas de aprender algo nuevo, ya sea una costumbre local, un plato único o una nueva perspectiva de la vida.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

I believe travel is about immersing yourself in the culture of a place, and that’s best done by connecting with the locals. Couchsurfing allows me to make meaningful connections, share experiences, and see the world through the eyes of the people who call it home. I love meeting like-minded people, exchanging ideas, and creating lasting memories through conversations, meals, and shared adventures.

Creo que viajar no solo se trata de visitar lugares, sino de sumergirse en la cultura local, y eso se logra mejor al conectar con la gente que vive allí. Couchsurfing me permite hacer conexiones significativas, compartir experiencias y ver el mundo a través de los ojos de las personas locales. Me encanta conocer personas con ideas afines, intercambiar conocimientos y crear recuerdos inolvidables a través de conversaciones, comidas y aventuras compartidas.

I love all kind of music with the exception of maybe Country and Rap. I especially love Merengue, Batchata or Cumbia and Lebanese Dabkeh for dancing!! Flamenco, Salsa, Blues, Jazz or classical music for Cooking and relaxing!

I watch mostly Foreign movies and some of my favorite movies are: Quo Vado? or Troppo napoletano (both italian Comedies) - Vengo by Tony Gatlif (musical drama in spanish) - Capernaum & Where do we go now? (Lebanes movies by Nadine Labaki) - Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis and La vache (french comedies)
