MISSION

Live life to the fullest! Explore the world and discover different cultures, people, and thousands of cities.

ABOUT ME

ⴰⵣⵓⵍ, إنسان, 국제 시민, spirito libero, viajero y vagabundo, Fotograf, outdoor-enthusiast and adventurous explorer à la recherche du bonheur éternel.

I'm 26 years old; I was born and raised in Oran, the city of Albert Camus and Yves Saint Laurent. I now live in Belgium. I love getting to know people from different backgrounds and cultures. That's the main reason why I'm on Couchsurfing.

I'm an extremely easy-going, open-minded, and carefree person. I respect the rules of my host. And one of the joyful moments I like the most is having a nice conversation about almost anything, whether culture, language, or people. I love cycling too!

*I can sleep on whatever. Be it rock solid floor or a silky smooth duvet, and I even have my sleeping bag, groundsheet, and a tent. Be it in a room, hall, or backyard, if I'm horizontal, and there are 2m x 80cm of space, I sleep.

PHILOSOPHY

Live an authentic life full of soul-filling things; go beat your own drum. Enjoy your lifetime at the maximum level you can, and make it worth it!

Be satisfied with your life experiences during your lifetime. No regrets!

I believe in human values, in good things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Did you ever have that sensation of loneliness in a hotel, feeling programmed, trapped by an agenda? Well, there is no better than real hosting; experiencing new cultures and new friends is a soul-filling thing.

Couchsurfing is one of the best helpful tools to get me up and running with traveling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the amazing soul-filling things that I've done is trekking throughout Djurjura Mountains in Algeria, about 40 km, my partner and I had a goal; we wanted to witness the first sunrise of 2017 on the summit of the mountains range, the summit is called Lalla Khedidja, but unfortunately, we didn't succeed, although, the experience was extremely amazing, we've met interesting people, discovered new places and mostly, we've truly lived.

On the first day of January 2018, early morning, we climbed Lalla Khedidja to witness the first sunrise of 2018, we succeeded in this second attempt! It was a deadly adventure, full of adrenalin and excitement; here's a short 30 seconds film about it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PFVNF6q0Ek)
