I'm Malik, currently 28 years old and working part time as a social worker.
I used to be part of a collective in my hometown (organising events, taking care of our space, networking, etc...).
Right now I’m trying to: learn to play chess (better), create more music and maybe join a cooking class.

I'm more extroverted than introverted, but I do enjoy my time alone a lot. I'm good on my own wandering through streets, going to cafés or the movies. But I also do appreciate compay!

I do find interest in learing and hearing about other views and opinions. I think communities
would be better of acknowledging other opinions (except they are harmful towards other people...).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used to use couchsurfing 2018 for one trip and had really good experiences. I'm hoping to meet locals on my next trip in Portugal and maybe even find a place to crash.

Last time i was really fond of connecting, discover local fancy places of food, parties, communties, etc...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

2 weeks in the mountains, no electricity, no running water. I've never been more calm and fulfilled.

Spontaneous jam session with some random people on a warm summer evening during a party.

Eating Maghluba for the first time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach u basic german sign language (DGS), teach you how to play the guitar...and I'm interested and open to learn new skills as well :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to cook and would say my skills are between ok and good. I would say I'm a good listener and have some stories to share as well. I like to share my time with others, but also be alone or give you the space you need.
