-- CURRENTLY IN BUENOS AIRES UNTIL FEBRUARY, I'm not in Barcelona! --

My name is Ala Eddine and I'm 22. I'm currently studying Medicine in the Hospital Sant Pau of Barcelona and as every couchsurfer I love travelling!

PHILOSOPHY
I don't think we have any purpose in life. So it's pretty easy IMO: either you stress about things in life or you can just CHILL and try to be the happiest you can, make happy the people around you (because happiness shared is twice better) and try to annoy the least (I'm still working on this one hehe). I think everybody knows this in theory but it seems more difficult to apply in real life.

I DO believe in LOVE, and I think people is more afraid of showing love than they know (I include myself in this group). Don't be afraid of it, remember those you love, appreciate your friends and always ask and they care of your family.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Because it's not only you don't have to pay to stay in crappy hostels but you get the opportunity to meet from the inside how people live in different countries. I like to learn things from the locals, things that you can't learn in a guide or searching on the internet because every person is a world.

What I think is that sharing things with the locals changes the way we enjoy the new country.

Also had the craziest nights with Couchsurfers. The best thing of CS is that you never know how it's gonna be but for sure it's gonna end with a new friendship.

Centres d'intérêt

I like to play the piano (I just started learning though!).
Science and new discoveries.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Pretty eclectic, I listen to almost everything depending on my mood. I specially love Metallica, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Queen, Janis Joplin and Pink Floyd, but I also like 90's rap (Biggie, 2pac, Rakim Big Pun, Nas), and grime (Skepta, Wiley, Abra Cadabra.. if you like this last one I accept you directly hahaha jk). But I also enjoy listening to reggae music and jazz. It depends a lot in the mood and the set&setting.

I don't read as much as I would love, but I guess most of the books I enjoy are focused in science things, like how the brain works and this stuff (boring guy I know haha).

My favourite movies are Shawshank Redemption, The Fight Club and One flew over the Cuckoo's nest (I love Jack Nicholson).
