Hello!

I'm Malick.

An engineer by education, however, in the past 2 years I've worked as a Math teacher in the UAE, teaching through the medium of English language to children of Arabic background.

I can speak some Italian, (although it needs improving), some Arabic, little bit of Russian, and Urdu as well.

I dance Salsa and also study Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Capoeira.

I've been a horse rider since the age of 12. I can teach anyone how to ride a horse or accompany you on a trail ride.
Look up 'Tent Pegging' :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I recently left my job as a teacher in the UAE and before I go back to the states, I have a couple projects that I need to get done in Europe. That's what brings me to the site, and I wish to utilize this community platform for endeavors ahead.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I usually don't measure experiences on the yard scale of how 'amazing' they were.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been riding horses since the age of 12. I can teach you how to ride a horse or accompany you on a trail ride.

Since as very young age I've been into foreign languages. Though I won't claim to be fluent, but I can do alright with Italian and Arabic. Currently learning Russian.

I am an intermediate level Salsa dancer (Cuban style) and also study Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Capoeira.

I've been fancying the idea of learning how to make vegan pastries :D
