ABOUT ME

I am a self taught photographer who loves to travel. If you guys are interested in the pictures I take, feel free to check out my website: adilboukind.com

I think that my entourage see me as a passionate and sociable person who tries way too hard be funny, with an extremely low rate of success.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By welcoming you guys at my place :) and by recommending you some of my friends that can eventually be your host. I like to spend time with my guest and make them discover the city the way I like it !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had the chance to stay on people's couch who all became my friends. That wasn't an "official" couch-surfer experience, since none of us was in the CS community at this time. But I guess in the end that is pretty much the same idea: as long as we share with someone else, we can make the world a better place.

Interests

I would say that I have three passions in life:

Martial Arts: since I always try to improve myself, the martial arts appear to be the perfect activity for me.It become a major part of my life in the last few years. As one of my instructor told me: "it helps you to keep going in the right direction."

Photography: A passion that I've discovered during a travel in Asia a few years ago. I decided recently that it will become my career since I don't see myself doing something else of my life. If you guys need some tips, don't hesitate to contact me !

Travels (obviously ;P). I love to meet to meet other people and I avoid to be in tourist places for too long. Adventure is way more interesting than staying in a hotel.

Otherwise I really enjoy music, reading, news (as a former political science student), Mangas, arts, history, going out etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Arriving in Beijing at 2 am with two friends without any hotel booked or place to stay. We also did not have any map to help us locate ourselves in town.

During this trip I also had the opportunity to sleep on the Great Wall. That was simply an amazing experience.
