I was born on a Mediterranean Peninsula called Monastir. I am curious, adventurous, and I love listening to people as they speak.
I aim to visit 30 African counties before reaching 30 and I hope to make as many friends as I could wherever I go.

I currently work at a company where I help African startups grow and expand across the continent. You can say that learning about the different corners of Africa is part of my job.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that a good way to learn and have fun at the same time is by meeting Couchsurfers since they are mostly fueled by curiosity and positive energy.
I enjoy sharing my stories with people and hearing theirs, showing them around (if I am the host), and creating unforgettable moments for both of us.

Interests

I can spend a whole night discussing culture and history, especially when it is related to Africa or the Arab world.

I love the beach and sea so much. I had a chance to do cliff diving in sea, ocean, lake, and waterfalls.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed Everest! (Not to the summit though 😅)

I had an acting experience in Mauritius in a South African series named "Agent". The series was on Canal+ and Netflix. After some time, it was removed from the latter one for reasons I don't know (I almost cried 😅). The character I played in the series was "Adam", a football player with Marlboro United FC. You can still watch the series on fmovies, Egybest, and a few other streaming websites.

I taught English at a kindergarten in Russia for two months. I enjoyed sharing food with the kids, playing catch and hide during breaks, learning Russian from them, and feeding the snails and rabbits.

What I Can Share with Hosts

People usually say that I am a good storyteller. So, I believe that I will be naturally sharing stories about fun moments I had or lessons that life taught me.
I show people how to swim and dive whenever possible. I usually teach people Arabic words and phrases and make them fall in love with Arabic songs.
Besides, I am a good cook. So, expect to enjoy a delicious Tunisian meal.
