About Me

CURRENT MISSION

knowing myself better :)

ABOUT ME

Warning : I am not at all good at describing myself, so expect some yawns when reading my profile below! :p

I have been living in different countries alone since I was 13. I never regretted moving around and never settling in one place because it taught me so many perspectives to appreciate the diversity of people from different cultures and backgrounds. Since then I realized that I have always loved travelling; it is always full of pleasant surprises, knowledge and challenges that always require me to grow and step out of comfort zone. In my opinion, travelling educates me more than formal education or university!

I love meeting new people, getting to know new cultures while having fun and these are the reasons why I join CS. I am an easygoing person who likes to talk a lot, so feel free to shut me up if I bore you!

PHILOSOPHY

‘The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page,’ St Augustine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed some couches in the past few months, and now I will be privileged to give my couch to other couchsurfers :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met amazing and super awesome people from all walks of life!

Interests

Sports : I am a massive massive fan of tennis and football, although I watch more frequently than I play myself :). I play tennis quite regularly, about once a week, and being in London makes me love these sports even more because we are crazy about these two sports!

Travelling : What else do I need to say? :)

Food : If you don't love food, you are missing out on life, seriously. Good food is heaven. Doesn't mean I can cook very well, but I am a good cleaner at the dining table!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being stopped at the border of Algeria when walking in Sahara Dessert in the middle of the night.

Looking at millions of stars and shooting stars while listening to dirty Berber (Moroccan natives) jokes.

Bungee-jumped in school! (not for suicide of course!!)
