CURRENT MISSION

Eu vou estar no Brasil entre Junho e Setembro de 2011! Estou muito feliz sobre a viagem, e gostaria de conhecer CSers no Brasil, Sampa, Porto Alegre, Floripa e outras cidades. Ate mais!

ABOUT ME

Officially I'm Moroccan-American but Brazilian at heart!

I love to discover new cultures, new places and new people. I'm very open minded and find that traveling is a great way to get exposed to new lifestyles. I love all sorts of music especially house & trance, but also all sorts of Brazilian music: samba, axe (ivete, chiclete, claudia) and batucada. I'll be spending 3 months in Brazil and want to get into Capoeira and improve my Samba dancing.

I was born in Morocco but live in New York, where I've been for about 12 years. NYC is a great place to be, very challenging but very rewarding as well.

I also like all sorts of sports and activities: dancing, surfing, rafting, scuba diving, roller-blading, biking, and playing cards (not sure if cards is a sport but it's fun!)

I speak several languages and want to communicate mostly in Portuguese as I travel Brazil the next 3 months.

PHILOSOPHY

Do no evil, have fun and enjoy life!
