I’m a mechanical engineer and a mechanical engineering teacher at a local college. Outside the classroom, I chose a life close to the sea. I live in Djerba, Tunisia, where I also run a sailing school and spend much of my time teaching, fixing boats, building projects, and watching sunsets that never get old.

I enjoy simple things: good conversations, sharing meals, learning from people’s stories, and life outdoors. I like hands-on work, whether it’s sailing, repairing equipment, or working on technical and creative projects. Teaching and mentoring — both students and young sailors — is a big part of my life.

I believe travel is not just about places, but about people. Couchsurfing, for me, is about exchange, respect, and curiosity — sharing time, ideas, and sometimes silence, with the sound of the sea nearby.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing to meet people, share experiences, and learn from different cultures. I enjoy welcoming travelers, exchanging stories, and offering a local perspective of life in Djerba. For me, it’s about connection, respect, and meaningful encounters — not just a place to sleep.

Musica, film e libri

Music
I enjoy a wide range of music, depending on the mood — from calm and atmospheric sounds to music that carries stories and emotion. Anything that goes well with long drives, workshops, or sunsets by the sea.

Movies
I like films that are human and meaningful: stories about journeys, real life, discovery, and people. I’m not into noisy blockbusters — I prefer movies that leave something to think about after they end.

Books
I enjoy books that mix knowledge and reflection — engineering, sailing, nature, travel, and life experiences. I appreciate books that teach something or change the way you see the world.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

I built a sailing school almost from nothing. Starting with very limited resources, I helped create a place where young people learn sailing, discipline, and confidence — and where the sea becomes a teacher, not just a playground.

Insegna, impara, condividi

Teach / Share:
I can share knowledge about sailing, basic seamanship, and life by the sea in Djerba. I’m also happy to talk about mechanical engineering, hands-on projects, teaching methods, and practical problem-solving. I enjoy sharing local culture, simple meals, and good conversations.

Learn:
I love learning from travelers — their cultures, languages, life paths, and perspectives. I’m always curious about how people live, think, and create in different parts of the world.

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa

I’m an easygoing and respectful guest. I enjoy meaningful conversations, cultural exchange, and sharing everyday moments rather than just passing through. I’m always happy to help with small things, cook or share a meal, and adapt to the rhythm of the house.
