Hi there !

I'm a business student staying in Durham until June 2016 as part of my ERASMUS programme.

I'm looking to make the most of my time here in the UK by visiting as many cool places as I can find and of course, meeting people of all backgrounds and cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The reason I'm on Couchsurfing is because it's such a great way to connect directly with the locals and of course saving up on hotel expenses doesn't hurt.

I would love to take this opportunity to to make my way through different cities in the UK in the month of June.

I'm hoping I will be able to host as soon as I'm settled back in France or Morocco this summer !

Interests

I'm an absolute movie and music fanatic. I could talk about both topics for hours on end and absolutely love to exchange opinions and discover new things.

Through the past year I have made some interesting changes and developed many new interests : mainly running and cooking.

I am also intrigued by any sort of cultural exploration : I love going randomly to screenings, art exhibits, theatre shows.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Back in my business school in Grenoble, I was part of a wonderful team of people that created and directed a musical with 30+ actors, singers and dancers, and we gave two incredible performances in front of an audience of more than 700 classmates, staff members and grenoble locals.

Teach, Learn, Share

Being a product of multiple cultures ( Having grown up in Morocco, studied in France and travalled to many countries early on ), I have always been fascinated by the exploration of differences and compelled to learn about the way people do things in different countries.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm also very eager to share my knowledge on the cultures that I'm familiar with.
I should say that another passion of mine is languages. I am fortunate enough to speak 3 languages fluently and I'm looking forward to discovering other languages/dialects etc. and learn about their significance.

Countries I’ve Lived In
