CURRENT MISSION

I am actually making the most out of my internship at "La Gazette de Berlin" and enjoying my time in Berlin

ABOUT ME

I was born as a maroccan-german child, which taught me to be open-minded towards other cultures and to live without prejudices right from the beginning. I always try to listen, to understand and to put myself into somebody elses position. This allows me to integrate me easily in new environments different to mine.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't want to corset myself by living just after one personal philosophy. Life is to important and a am pretty young. I'll learn as much as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This international network is a great possibility to me and everybody else to gain experiences, to look behind facades and to enlarge my knowledge of different patterns of life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My most interesting and influencing CouchSurfing Experience is my actual stay with Uwe in Berlin. He's a very creative author who is going to publish his first book in June. He dropped his successful career to live his own life and to get involved in social work. He introduced me into the decadent life in Berlin let me stay with him for almost four weeks.

Interests

I am interested in many different cultural and scientific areas. A very important field of interest which has developed continously, centres on literature, art and philosophy. In the course of the last year I participated in a franco-german work experience concerning modern poetry. During this project I became aware of my affectations towards creative writing. In the aftermath I participated in ceveral further contributions of Poetry Slam. Being able to influence daily life in a subtle creative, aesthetic way, to share and convey culture, humanity and virtue, has alway fascinated me. Thats why i am always enjoying writing. A further field of interest has developed last year during my studies of film. I understood that modern medias are often underestimated to traditional ones, such as litterature, but that they contain also an enormous esthetic potential. My studies gave me the opportunity to get a more critical understanding -so does philosophy- of the creative process and the development of film in 20th century.
On the other hand, it is always important to meet up with friends, to travel and to enjoy life in his simplicity.
