Hello dear reader ;)

My name is Sofiane, I was born and raised in France with parents from Morocco and Algeria. I like both my Arabic and French culture a lot.
I am from a large family of 6 siblings and one of my little brothers has Down Syndrome. I am used to share and I like it, I consider myself as an open minded person even though life surprises me everyday.
I've always worked besides my studies (mainly voluntary jobs or job where salary can't be the motivation). My main jobs are being an instructor for hardly disabled people and kids with social issues. I feel like I am working hard to be ready to work in international solidarity (humanitarian actions). Development projects and rebuilding after war would be perfect.
Besides school I've also always been practicing several activities. I am a basketball and handball player in competition. I used to do theatre, dance ballet and street dance but unfortunately there is not enough hours in a day :/
If you ask my friends they'll tell you I am a crazy robot kind of control freak, nobody is perfect ...
I like to talk and to learn about people's lives. There is always a place for new friends :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The concept of couchsurfing is awesome! It shows the good part of humanity, the ability to share and to give because after all we are all bound as one :)

Interests

Outdoor activities are the best! I like being outside and active. It can be riding a horse, canyoning, playing volleyball or even just walking.
I like reading and I am always sad when a book ends.
I keep on trying Yoga, I love it but I am not flexible so it can be hard sometimes to find the peace in certain positions haha
