Hello my name is Mehdi! I was born in France, in the lovely city of Clermont-Ferrand.

I grew up in the south of France (far from my birthplace but nearby the sea!), where I could enjoy the charms of mediterranean life.

I've been traveling and living abroad for quite a few years now. Thanks to couchsurfing, through hosting and events, I was able to make friends all around the world and for some of them became very long-lasting relationships. It's a great community based on the ideas of mutual respect, helping each other, giving and receiving. If you don't understand that, sorry but you don't belong here.
Therefore, before sending a request to me, please note that I don't even reply to people in those categories:

- Guys who only hosted women.
- Empty profiles
- Copy-pasters who don't even mention anything from my profile.

Other than that, you're welcome as long as I can host😁 I'm always happy to show my guests around and cook some nice dinner together! I also like playing chess (I'm not super good tho), cycling and hiking. Other activities of course that's the first things that come to my mind😋

Hope to meet you soon!

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't really have a favorite music, I love many different things but if I had to give one I would say "Les marchands de rêves, Corneille" always makes me feel emotional.
If I had to give a movie it would be "Life of Pi" or "A peaceful warrior"...I don't know which one to chose!
So many books influenced me : "Les pensées, Pascal" , "Profession de foi du vicaire savoyard, Rousseau" , "Orientalism, Edward Said" and a lot more...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling around S-E Asia by hitchhiking with no money and no phone for months!
