  Description

  Hey my name is Selim from Tunis Tunisia . I was travelling around asia for more than 3 years and spent most of my time there Cycling and volunteering with workaway . I ve done a lot of workaway experiences in so many different countries like Malaysia , Thailand , Laos , Cambodia , Vietnam , Philippines , Japan , South Korea , Myanmar , Sri Lanka , Indonesia , India .. and that s why I was chosen from the workaway team to become one of their ambassadors ( I m also on workaway TV ) . Now I think it s time to give back to our workaway community and become a good host for travellers visiting Tunisia . Like I mentioned before I was cycling in different countries and that s why when I came back home because of the pandemic I decided to create a "cycling club " leading cyclotourism tours around the country . Our main goal is to promote for Tunisians cycling abroad in a nomadic style like I ve done in Asia . In our tours in Tunisia we try to train our group members to get used to harsh conditions while Cycling and leave their comfort zone. We have also other goals like provide bikes for kids to try cycling around our town where I live . We also organise charity events: collecting donations and helping orphelina and SDF people living in the streets .
  
  Now our group is one of the most famous Cycling groups in Tunisia and many people are joining our tours . I m also thinking with cyclists friends to launch a languages club: where kids from our town can learn and practice languages for free.
  That s a dream project for me to give back to my town and country and I m sure I ll get your support .
  We need people to help with our outdoor small bike cafe where cyclists gather, helping with renting bikes and organising cycling tours. We want to write more blogs and create videos to attract customers. We started also recently selling plants in our shop so we'll be interested to host volunteers helping with the plants .
  NEW PROJECT: We are working to sell products and use money made by organising bike tours to buy 100 bikes for Tunisian kids in rural areas. Many kids need to walk around 10 km to reach their schools and a bike can make a big difference.

  Cet hôte propose un échange linguistique
  I love learning new languages and studied for many years different ones , I have a goal to be hyperpolyglot so I can be fluent in 6 different languages . As a world traveller and consider myself a world citizen it s the tool to get immersed in different cultures . My life is about travelling , cycling around the world and for sure learning new words everyday to communicate with people on the road .. I ll be happy to help volunteers to learn Arabic , french , English and even some Korean or German .. in Tunisia as a high school students we study 4 languages so a good student supposed to be naturally a polyglot person so don't be shocked meeting Tunisians speaking many foreign languages ..
