About Me

CURRENT MISSION:

Learning to know people of the World!

ABOUT ME:

30 yo male born in Casablanca, grew up in Marrakech.
I have a Master's Degree in Marketing & Communication.
On the other hand I'm creative, free thinker, keen about arts (I write a lot, and play music). And I'm a simple wanderer into this small big world!

It makes me happy to know more about others and meet a lot of people from different backgrounds, and hear their own stories from each country. I already have some foreign friends, who share with me a part of their culture, and make me happy, dreaming about visiting each country/city of the world!

And I'm cool, sociable, natural, fun to be with, honest, easy going, spontaneous, (And Crazy sometimes) :D

PHILOSOPHY

I have my own philosophy about people, life, world! I like to observe people, analyse them, try to guess what they're thinking, and know what they want. I also like to meet people who know why they're here on this earth, who asked themselves this question at least once in their lives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can teach some arabic, (I give darija courses sometimes in my free time), some guitar basics and a lot about Moroccan culture, society and traditions. And Hang out with my guests, do some sightseeing with them, and showing them only the unique spots that I love about my city!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It was a pleasure hosting a friend from Netherlands for one night, and the next 2 nights, hosting 3 chinese girls from Honk Kong. And showing them the beautiful gardens of Marrakech, the big famous square, the old medina, and the giant starry sky! Also I hosted Eli from Belgium 1 night, then she added a 2nd night.

Interests

In my free time I do many things. I play guitar, and sing sometimes (But only for myself), I write novels and poems (In French and English), binge watch a lot of movies and shows (Thank you Netflix).
