Salam Alaykom!
Marhaban, and welcome to our Couchsurfing world — where everyone brings a new story.

we’re Ziyad & Basmah 👋
We’re an easygoing couple who love meeting people, learning about cultures, and sharing experiences.

We both enjoy deep conversations, spontaneous plans, and discovering simple joys — from a good movie night to exploring new cities.
In our free time, we listen to music, watch movies or shows (A Beautiful Mind and Friends are favorites!), and sometimes try to read the books we keep postponing 😄

We believe every person carries a universe of ideas, dreams, and experiences — and that’s what makes every encounter meaningful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For us, Couchsurfing isn’t just about a place to stay — it’s about connecting hearts and minds.
We love welcoming respectful, curious travelers who bring good energy and stories to share.
Hosting reminds us how beautiful it is to discover the world through the people who travel it.
