International student from Yemen, I currently live in the city of Lille. I also lived in the mystical city of Dunkerque for a couple of years, with its critical sight of an industrial port at bay. I was born in a beautiful ancient civilisation: Yemen, that still errupts with cultural diversity till this day and wish someday to remove it from the veils and bring that diversity to the global cultural scene.
I have just finished my higher education studies in Culture & Media and I am now interested in specialising in audiovisual studies, image/sound engineering, etc. Note: Im still beginner.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have just recently joined the world of couchsurfing and my profile is not at its fullest. I am interested in couch surfing because I'm very attached to the idea of exchanging stories, whatever their kind, sharing my alien culture but also in hearing about different views, critics, and cultural references. I often move around for festivals, explorations, internships or just simply to see friends.

Movies: countless... Although at the moment I recommend Withnail and I for those who are interested.

Series: Adventure Time, Mad Men, The Office.

Books: Too personal
