Resumen
Sobre mí
Hi everyone, my name is Ali and I'm from Bahrain!
I'm love learning about other cultures, food, books, singing, dancing, and of course travelling.
One of my biggest passions is also language learning. I speak English (native), Arabic (advanced), and Hindi (beginner) so if you speak any of these I'd love to practice with you.
In terms of work, I'm a researcher focused on migrant and labour rights globally. So if you have an interest in politics or current affairs I'm your guy. :)
Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing
I'm on Couchsurfing because I want to truly understand a country and its culture when I visit, and not simply go to the main touristy sights and leave. I want to discover what its really like to live and be from a place, and get to know the hidden gems. And of course, I want to meet new people from around the world and make new friends. :)

Algo increíble que he hecho
The achievement or experience I'm most proud of is acting in a play in Edinburgh about the refugee crisis, and meeting refugees from around the world so I can help tell their story to audiences.
Enseña, aprende, comparte
I can teach you some traditional Bahraini recipes, as well as some Arabic phrase! I'd love for you to teach me some local phrases and maybe even a recipe from your cuisine.
Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones
I'd love to share more about Bahrain and the Middle East with my host, including some recipes for a Bahraini breakfast, which is quite unique. :)
