🇲🇦 Current Status – Important Update
📍 I am currently traveling in Morocco
🗓️ My trip ends on January 10th
During this period, I may be slow to reply or unavailable for hosting.
Once back, hosting will resume depending on my work and family schedule.
⚠️ Very Important Note (Please Read Carefully)
🛑 Couchsurfing is NOT a dating app ❤️❌
Any misuse of this platform goes against its spirit and values.
If you are here for anything other than cultural exchange, respect, and kindness, please use another app.
I take this very seriously and will report misuse without hesitation.
Be a true ambassador of your country 🌍✨
🌱 Hosting Availability – Honest & Clear
Life sometimes takes us in different directions.
I had to pause hosting for a while 😔, but I’m slowly reopening my door again.
⚠️ Important clarification (to avoid misunderstandings):
➡️ I can host for a maximum of 2–3 nights only.
This is non-negotiable, based on past experiences where guests expected to stay for a week or more.
If you are looking for long stays, I may not be the right host — and that’s okay 🤝
Clarity means respect for everyone.
💡 Why I Host
Couchsurfing is never about free accommodation.
It’s about human connection, shared meals 🍽️, conversations, and meaningful moments.
Every guest leaves with a piece of Tunisia — and leaves something beautiful behind 🌍💫
🏡 What I Offer (When Available)
✨ A warm family home shared with my wife and 3 children 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
✨ Kitchen access & shared meals 🍲
✨ Local advice & hidden gems 🌿
✨ Nature & countryside trips when time allows 🌄
🛋️ A Few Notes About My Home
🏠 10 minutes from the city center, near a metro station 🚇
🌿 Safe & peaceful neighborhood
🚬 Smoking-friendly (I’m a heavy smoker)
🍷 No alcohol allowed
🤝 Out of respect for my family values:
• I host men only if traveling with their wife, or when I’m fully available at home.
✨ House Philosophy (Hosting or Traveling)
✔️ Communication is everything 🗣️
✔️ No copy-paste requests ✍️
✔️ No alcohol — smoking is okay 🚬
✔️ LGBTQ+ travelers: not hosted (personal values)
✔️ If I stay with you, I’ll be respectful, helpful, and grateful 🙏
🔐 Secret Code
To show you read my profile carefully, please include this sentence in your request:
➡️ “Mi casa es su casa” 🏡
Requests without it may not be answered.
💭 A Closing Thought
“Live the moment, take the adventure, and create unforgettable memories.”
— Martha Medeiros ✨
Even while balancing work, travel, and family, the Couchsurfing spirit remains alive in my heart ❤️
Let’s keep this community respectful, human, and meaningful —
one message, one smile, one story at a time.
Warm wishes,
Maher 🇹🇳

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

"I'm here on Couchsurfing because life is full of stories waiting to be shared, places worth discovering, and friends I haven’t met yet. I believe the best way to travel is by sharing experiences and those small, memorable moments that make every journey unique. If you're looking for someone who enjoys meaningful conversations and believes laughter is a universal language, that's exactly why I'm here!"

Intereses

The Trans-Siberian Railway journey is one of the greatest adventures one can experience, and it is my dream to make it a reality. Imagine departing from Moscow, traveling through vast taiga forests, crossing icy rivers, and stopping in mysterious cities rich with history and diverse cultures until finally reaching Vladivostok after seven days of traversing time and nature. I would sit by the window, watching breathtaking landscapes unfold before me, exchanging stories with travelers from around the world. Most importantly, I hope to have good company—people who share my passion for discovery and adventure, with whom I can laugh, share moments of wonder, and create unforgettable memories. It would be a journey of a lifetime, filled with stories and experiences that will last forever.

Algo increíble que he hecho

1320 Kilometers, 43 Hours, and an Endless Adventure!

Picture this: an epic train journey starting from Tunis, passing through Annaba and Algiers, and finally reaching Oran—covering a staggering 1320 kilometers of stunning landscapes, diverse faces, and countless untold stories. On the way there, I took my time, spending a night in each city, savoring every stop like a connoisseur piecing together a masterpiece.

The return trip, however? Oh, that was an entirely different ballgame! 43 hours of nonstop train travel, with just an hour at each city to switch trains. It all began with a slightly dramatic train breakdown in Oran, leaving me racing against time to catch the Algiers train—making it with just 10 minutes to spare! But as they say, good stories start with a bit of chaos, and this one was no exception.

The Algiers train turned out to be the highlight of the journey, thanks to the incredible company I found on board. Conversations flowed effortlessly, laughter echoed through the cabin, and suddenly, the long hours didn’t seem so daunting. It felt like traveling with old friends, even though we had just met.

And then came the final leg: the Tunis train. There, I crossed paths with a group of Mauritanian friends, and let me tell you, the stories we shared could’ve filled an entire book. We talked about everything from culture to dreams, all while the train chugged along, proving that travel isn’t just about the destination—it’s about the connections you make along the way.

This journey was a whirlwind of challenges, laughter, and unforgettable moments. I’m already planning to do it all over again—and maybe even push the boundaries a little further next time. After all, isn’t that what travel is all about? The chaos, the adventure, and the stories that live on long after the journey ends?
