Hello! I’m Ali El Abboubi
A passionate musician, singer, and percussionist hailing from the vibrant city of Rabat, Morocco. Music isn’t just my profession—it’s the heartbeat of my life. From lively festivals and bustling nightclubs to intimate street performances as a busker, I bring my rhythm and soul wherever I go.

But my journey isn’t only about performing; it’s about people. Meeting new faces, exchanging cultures, and sharing experiences light up my world. I truly believe that every person we encounter has a lesson to offer, and I’m always curious about what our paths can teach one another.

What I Do

🎵 Percussion Teacher: I love introducing others to the world of rhythm and sound, guiding them to discover their own musical voice.

🌍 Cultural Connector: Through music, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with people from all over the world, blending styles, and exchanging stories that shape my journey.

Every new place I visit and every person I meet becomes part of my life’s melody, making it richer and more inspiring.

Philosophy

"We keep flying,
And no road’s gonna stop us
From reaching what the heart says.
Why worry about the future that hasn't come yet?
Follow your heart—it’s the map to a better future."

Languages I Speak

🗣️ Arabic, French, English, Spanish — Let’s connect in whichever language speaks to you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing because I believe the world is best explored through human connection. Travel has taught me that the most unforgettable memories are made when you dive into new cultures and spend time with locals. Whether it’s sharing stories, learning a local recipe, or having a jam session in a new city, I’m all in! And as much as I love teaching and performing, I’m equally excited to learn from you.

Interests

My philosophy about life
It is living the passion of following your heart
That makes you never lose
Maintain the balance of continuing to drive positively
And the courage to give us power
All that in the end we call it love
Giving and never waiting
Life is a beautiful adventure.
We should enjoy it ❤
