About Me

Travelling from Algeria to Iran
📍Iran
"A good traveller has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving."

I'm a curious, open-minded and easygoing person with a shy side :)

"Change, rather than your desires, the Order of the world"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A one year trip around the world:
"Un voyage se passe de motifs. Il ne tarde pas à prouver qu'il se suffit à lui-même. On croit qu'on va faire un voyage, mais bientôt c'est le voyage qui vous fait, ou vous défait."
“Traveling outgrows its motives. It soon proves sufficient in itself. You think you are making a trip, but soon it is making you - or unmaking you."

Teach, Learn, Share

I like deep talks but also chilling and having fun...
Interest in culture(s), grafics arts, music, sports, social entrepreneurship, alternative projects and culture, politics and pedagogy, philosophy and sprirituality,...
