Hey there! I'm Mohamed Salum , a passionate individual working in impact investment, where I empower entrepreneurs with the knowledge and resources they need to succeed. I’m always on the lookout for meaningful connections and love learning from people from all walks of life.

Fitness is an important part of my daily routine, and you’ll often find me at the gym 6 days a week to stay healthy and energized. I’m also a curious soul who is constantly seeking new experiences, I live in Zanzibar

In my free time, I enjoy immersing myself in different cultures and perspectives. Whether it’s through travel, reading, or engaging with people, I believe everyone has something valuable to teach. I’ve worked in various roles, from reception to hotel supervision, and I love the hospitality industry, which has taught me a lot about welcoming guests and making people feel at home.

I’m new to Couchsurfing, but I’m excited to meet like-minded travelers and share some great experience together🤗

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I believe that travel is more meaningful when it’s about people and shared experiences. I love meeting new people, exchanging stories, and immersing myself in local cultures. Couchsurfing seems like the perfect way to connect with like-minded travelers, share knowledge, and make authentic connections along the way.

Whether it’s learning something new, offering a helping hand, or simply sharing a good conversation, I’m excited to explore the world through the perspectives of others!
