About Me

Engineering student with a passion for Education, Cultures exchange, Traveling, and Languages.
I have so much stuff going on in my life. I study engineering. I have a part-time job in the education field. I'm a member of my university's Formula racing team. and finally a freelance tutor at cool startup.

I enjoy discussion on different topics (Philosophy, politics, religion, etc...).
I'm punctual, organized, I can adapt to any environment, and I seek discomfort.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet the world !!!

I believe that exchanging cultures is most precious experience anyone could ever have.
Living together by sharing a room or house is the best way to exchange cultures.

Since I was a kid, I had the world map hanged in my room. It inspired my love of other cultures and drove my desire to travel and explore countries.
