About Me

Hi!
I'm a respectful, easygoing traveler who loves meeting new people and learning about local cultures. I enjoy sharing stories, helping out around the house, and being a considerate guest. I’m always grateful for the hospitality and try to give back however I can—whether that’s cooking a meal, sharing travel tips, or just bringing good energy. Looking forward to connecting and making meaningful memories!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I believe the best way to experience a place is through the people who live there. I love cultural exchange, making new friends, and sharing stories, meals, and moments. It’s not just about saving money — it’s about creating real connections and learning from each other.

Interests

I’m passionate about cooking — not just as a job, but as a way to connect with people. I love exploring local markets, trying new ingredients, and learning how food reflects culture. Sharing a home-cooked meal is one of my favorite ways to bond.

Outside the kitchen, I enjoy traveling, discovering new cities, and learning about different ways of life. I’m always curious about history, traditions, and how people live day to day. I also enjoy music, long conversations, and walking around new places with no fixed plan — just letting the journey surprise me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The amazing thing I’ve done was working as a chef in Saudi Arabia. It was a life-changing experience where I got to live in a very different culture, meet people from all over the world, and cook for large events and diverse guests. I learned how to adapt my cooking to new tastes, discovered new ingredients and traditions, and gained a deep respect for the culture and hospitality of the region. It really opened my mind and helped me grow — both personally and professionally.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m on Couchsurfing to meet people, share cultures, and connect beyond tourism. I’m a professional chef, and I love cooking for others and teaching recipes from my background. If you host me, I’d be happy to cook a meal and share some kitchen tips! I also enjoy learning about local food, traditions, and everyday life. For me, Couchsurfing is about meaningful exchange — not just a place to sleep, but a way to grow and give something back.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my skills as a professional chef — whether it's cooking a full meal, teaching you a new recipe, or sharing food from my culture. I love talking about travel, food, and life experiences. I’m also happy to help around the house, teach some cooking techniques, or just share good conversation and laughs. I always try to bring a positive vibe and leave something good behind — even if it’s just a great memory or a tasty dish!
