Hi! I’m Yanis, a 23-year-old from Algeria with a Master’s degree in Finance. Although I studied finance, I chose to follow my passion and became a culinary content creator on Instagram. Beyond cooking, I’ve been passionate about gardening since I was a kid. I also enjoy painting, photography, camping, hiking, creating social media content, and traveling. Being Algerian, I’m fluent in Arabic and French, and have a good command of English 🤩

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love adventure and discovering the world through the eyes of locals. For me, travel isn’t just about seeing new places; it’s about connecting with people, exploring unique cultures, and sharing authentic experiences. I’m especially passionate about learning culinary traditions, and I’m planning my next trip to Vienna for Christmas. I’m excited to make new friends and create unforgettable memories along the way! 🇮🇩

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

🇹🇳 My first time trying Couchsurfing was spontaneous—I decided just two days before my trip! I downloaded the app, bought my ticket, and set off without even knowing where I’d sleep. It was my birthday, and I wanted a unique experience. Thankfully, everything went perfectly, and I made some amazing friends. Best birthday ever! 🤩

🇹🇷 My second birthday trip! I took my 75L backpack and traveled solo around Turkey for a month, covering 3,000 km on my own. It was—and still the dream trip of my life 😁

🇫🇷 My trip to Paris in a wheelchair! As an adventurer, I broke my ankle this summer while hiking near a waterfall. They put a plate with six screws in, and I couldn’t walk for three months. So, I took my wheelchair and spent 15 days in France, touring around Paris in a wheelchair! 🦽👏

What I Can Share with Hosts

They call me green boy 👨🏻‍🌾 and I've been gardening since I was young, so I'm skilled at caring for gardens, especially vegetable gardens 🌱 I have a passion for animals and have adopted several, so I know how to take care of them. Additionally, I enjoy DIY projects and decorating. I love creating content, including photography, videography, editing, and managing social media. Cooking is another one of my strengths, as I am a culinary content creator, I also enjoy hiking and camping under the stars! I'm open to learning new skills and exploring different opportunities 🤩
