اهلًا و سهلا و السلام عليكم ! My name is Yusuf ibn Haroun , I'm an Arabic Modern Language & Culutre major with a minor in International Business. Since the age of nine I have always been fascinated with the desert life.. As a child I would study the different tribes coming out of North,West,and East Africa as well as the different cultures throughout the Middle East. Being as though I am Muslim the Quran (which I also love)would help spark my interest in the Arabic language which I am still learning to this day. My last piece of info about me is my passion for international business specifically import,export , fashion, stocks bonds and lastly real estate.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet new people and immerse myself in the very cultures I grew up studying, I would also like to have the chance to actually experience a family setting. I'm in search of members who will open up their doors to me as One of their own family members. I really want to meet individuals who will help me experience the foods,language,clothing,dancing,emotion,poems,literature,music etc.. Everything that I have dreamt about I want to make a reality which is the main reason I'm here.
