Hi, I’m Tarek, a 21-year-old from Syria ! I’m passionate about exploring new cultures, meeting people from all walks of life, and sharing interesting stories. I love the idea of connecting with locals wherever I go, and I’m excited to offer the same hospitality when people visit my area.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in the power of human connections. Couchsurfing is more than just a free place to stay—it’s a way to experience the heart of a city through its people. I’m here to make lasting memories, share my experiences, and learn from others. I love the idea of creating friendships across borders.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: I love reading books that expand my perspective. I’m into both fiction and non-fiction. Recently, I’ve been drawn to books on self-development and creativity, as well as novels with unique storytelling styles.
•Films: I’m a fan of movies that make you think or take you on a journey. Whether it’s a mind-bending thriller, a heartfelt drama, or an inspiring documentary, I love films that spark conversation afterward. I also have a soft spot for the occasional action-packed blockbuster.

Music: I love a wide range of music! Depending on my mood, I’ll listen to indie, pop, hip-hop, or even some classic rock. Music helps me relax and keeps me motivated, and I’m always happy to discover new genres or artists.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing things I’ve done was traveling solo for the first time. It was a huge step out of my comfort zone, but it taught me so much about independence, adaptability, and how to connect with people from different cultures. It was a life-changing experience that shaped the way I see the world today.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I can share my skills in photography, especially how to take great candid shots. I also know a lot about marketing, so I’m happy to talk about digital strategies and creative thinking in business.
• Learn: I’m always eager to learn about new cultures, languages, and different ways of thinking. I’m currently learning some Turkish and would love to improve it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories from my travels and my experiences working in marketing. I’m also a pretty decent photographer, so if you need some good pictures, I’d be happy to help! If you’re visiting my city, I can offer recommendations on the best places to explore, and I’d love to show you some hidden gems if time allows.
