Hey! I’m Shammas, currently living in Italy where I’m doing my master’s while working as a computer scientist.

I enjoy traveling in a simple way, long walks in unfamiliar cities, eating local food, and having random conversations that somehow turn strangers into friends. I like experiencing places the way locals live rather than just visiting tourist attractions.

I’m curious about how societies work and how different cultures think. I believe civilizations shouldn’t be judged by how modern or wealthy they are, but by how they treat other people. Kindness and empathy say much more about a society than its buildings or money.

Food is one of my favorite ways to connect with people, so I’m always happy to cook together, share meals, or exchange recipes from different cultures.

For 2026, I set myself a small challenge:
Meet one stranger every week, share a meal, and talk about life.

I enjoy deep conversations about life, philosophy, society—or completely random topics that somehow become meaningful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet locals, make friends, and experience places in a more personal and real way. Happy to share culture, laughs, and maybe some spicy home-cooked food too!
