About Me

ABOUT ME

Son of a half Sahraoui mother and another Amazigh half. Also, a son of a Sahraoui father, who grew up in a Amazigh surrounding. Thus, I am a mixture of Sahraoui and Amazigh. The two nomadic ethnic backgrounds that make if me the Moroccan I am proud to be.
Morally, I am a respectful person and I like others to be respect me in return. Courageous enough to make others feel comfortable, timid to some extent, and that is the outcome of my education. I grew up adventourous in a surrounding that is worthy to be discovered, funny to entertain, and pleased when fighting boredom. I am enthsiastic as it is my engine for accomplishing my goals. I am ambitious to survive, succeed, and always curious to know more. I am proud of my culture, traditions, big family, and friends.
I am also open-minded and ready accept other's views as long as they are convincing, discuss worthy issues, and of course seek to reach consensus (why not!).
Social and open to all cultures, other types of friendship, and discoveries. I like to include my touch in every unforgettable and valuable achievement, as I avoid loneliness even in eating.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that If you do not want to be forgoten while dead and rotten, write some thing worth reading or do some thing worth writing. Therefore, CS I find is something that will help me know and get known.
To my thinking also, the greatest thing that human will ever learn is to love those good people he meets and be loved by them in return.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a member who wants to be contribute to the culture of CS.
I lived with a good friend deserving to be mentioned Habib, who hosted surfers in the house we rented during our career training in Marrakesh.
I have even helped some of my best friends to be registered in the site Ahmed &Lahcen and they also hosted many.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was postponing my membership in the CS until I get a permanent local in the south of Morocco the region that i see should get the right to be discovered, lived, experienced and not just be narrated. I managed to do so and my experience is always positive ever since.

Interests

Traveling through Morrocco is a dream i need to fulfill knowing every details about each region in my country, before visiting other countries. However, this does not hinder my interest in traveling as much and meeting as many friends as possible.
I enjoy climbing those rocyk mountains and going for picnic with entertaining friends.
Sport is my other part, and playing more than watching football is my best.

Wisedom have no only one fountain it may be reading, listening or watching the perfect.

In fact, I love true stories and those based on novels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling almost to many places I have never thought or dreamt of visiting.

Teach, Learn, Share

We all have to know that the world is a small vilage in a sense like theatre. All men and women on it act like actors or players, as Shakespeare said. So take your turn and perfectionate your role ;
The real intellectuality in life is assessed by the development or the modernization in a particular society but the state the country man turn out to be.
Life is like a football match this means that you can not always win, and you can not always lose.

Cultural aspects, language exchange, travel experiences, local stories, food and jokes.

Belgium, British Indian Ocean Territory, China, France, Germany, India, Netherlands, Poland, Tunisia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States
