Hey, I'm Shafi. Bahrain guru by day, global explorer by... well, also day. Let's discover the world, one adventure at a time!

Think Bahrain is just about oil and skyscrapers? Think again! I'm here to unveil the authentic heart of this island nation, from ancient Dilmun ruins to the vibrant art scene.

P. S. I am a certified Tour-guide licensed by WFTGA.

And when I'm not busy debunking stereotypes about Bahrain, you can find me exploring the far corners of the world, proving that even the most seasoned traveler can still get lost in translation (and maybe a few back alleys).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here for the stories, the laughter, and the chance to make lifelong friends.

I'm interested in anything that involves good food, good company, and a good story. Bonus points if it involves a beach and a cocktail.

• traveling
• social work
• volunteering
• football
• horse riding
• book reading

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite movies are the ones that transport you to another world. And my favorite books are the ones that stay with you long after you've turned the last page.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I survived a 10-hour bus ride in Pakistan with a chatty chicken as my seatmate. Does that count?

Teach, Learn, Share

Im a master chef of instant ramen, willing to share my secrets for the perfect midnight snack. In return, I'd love to learn how to make your grandma's famous apple pie
