Why I’m on Couchsurfing

🌍 Connecting Through Travel, Stories & Shared Experiences
Travel is more than just visiting new places—it's about the people you meet along the way. I joined Couchsurfing to open my home and my heart to fellow travelers, share unforgettable moments, and experience the world through the stories and cultures of others.

As a passionate adventurer, storyteller, and culture lover, I believe the best way to explore a country is not through guidebooks but through the eyes of its people. Hosting travelers allows me to exchange experiences, learn about different ways of life, and create friendships that go beyond borders.

Whether it’s sharing traditional Moroccan tea, exploring hidden gems in my city, or simply having deep conversations about life, travel, and dreams, I love making guests feel at home and ensuring they leave with great memories.

If you're looking for a host who is adventurous, warm, and excited to show you true Moroccan hospitality, I’d love to welcome you! Let’s make travel more meaningful—one connection at a time. 🌟

Music, Movies, and Books

🎶🎬📖 My Favorite Music, Movies & Books
I believe that music, movies, and books are powerful ways to experience different cultures and emotions. They inspire, transport, and connect us—just like traveling does! Here are some of my favorites:

🎶 Music – My playlist is as diverse as my travels! From Moroccan Gnawa beats to classic rock, from soulful jazz to electronic vibes, I love discovering new sounds. Some favorites include Pink Floyd, Coldplay, traditional Amazigh music, and deep house beats—but I’m always open to new recommendations!

🎬 Movies – A good movie can take you on an adventure without leaving the couch. I enjoy thought-provoking films, adventure stories, and inspiring documentaries. Some all-time favorites:

Into the Wild (because it speaks to my adventurous soul 🌍)

Inception (a mind-bending masterpiece)

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (because life is meant for exploring!)

Any great travel documentary!

📖 Books – I love books that challenge perspectives and spark curiosity. Some favorites:

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho (a must-read for every traveler ✨)

Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari (history and humanity in a whole new light)

The 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss (because freedom and adventure go hand in hand!)

Anything about psychology, philosophy, or travel!

If you have any book, movie, or music recommendations, I’d love to hear them! I believe the best way to discover new favorites is through the people you meet along the way. Let’s swap stories, playlists, and experiences! 🎵🎥📚

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

🌍 One Amazing Thing I've Done
One of the most unforgettable experiences of my life was camping under a sky full of stars in the Sahara Desert. No city lights, no noise—just the vast, golden dunes stretching endlessly and the silence so pure you could hear the whispers of the wind. Sitting by the fire with Berber nomads, listening to their stories, and watching the sunrise paint the desert in shades of gold and orange was absolutely magical.

That moment reminded me why I love traveling—it's about connecting with people, embracing the unknown, and experiencing the world in its rawest beauty.

What's the most amazing thing you've done? I'd love to hear your stories!

Teach, Learn, Share

If you're curious about how to make the perfect cup of Moroccan mint tea or want to learn a few words in Darija (Moroccan Arabic), I’d be happy to teach you! I can also share travel tips and insights about exploring Morocco beyond the tourist spots.

Learn – Every person I meet has something to teach me, whether it's a new perspective, a different way of life, or a local dish I’ve never tried before. I’m always eager to learn about new cultures, languages, and ways of thinking. If you have a skill or a story to share, I’d love to hear it!

Share – Great conversations, adventure stories, and good vibes! I believe that travel is about connection and exchange, so whether it’s sharing a meal, a hike, or just a good laugh, I’m always open to creating memorable experiences with new people.
