I am a Tunisian student at the University of Chicago. I grew up in the wonderful city of Carthage right outside of Tunis. II also lived in South Africa, Hong Kong and France.

I love traveling and discovering new cultures and to share Tunisia with travelers.

I am an avid reader so if we meet, you can bring recommendations with you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that no place is better discovered through the lenses of Locals. I enjoy immersing myself in different cultures and learning from them.

Couchsurfers also tend to be quite open-minded and fun and a pleasure to get to know.

I have surfed with one of my friends a number of times in northern Italy and Southern France but have just recently started using my own profile in South Africa.

I have yet to host anyone, it tends to be quite hard as I am rarely home but you never know unless you try. :)

I have met some pretty amazing people thanks to CS and has definitely made me a much more trusting person.

Teach, Learn, Share

Share: Both with hosts and surfers, I can share homemade Tunisian meals, great conversations over a glass of wine, tons of travel stories and book recommendations.

Teach: anything you would like to know about the history and arts of the middle ages. Maybe some French or Arabic.

Learn: About cultures, people, views, languages, art, and music. If you can teach me about some recipes from your country that would be great as well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a very good cook and conversationist. I believe in the power of intellectual discourse but I am also very outgoing and can bring fun and joy to your life.
