Hello there,

The last thing I'm good at is writing about me, but let's try to feestyle

A self-made hustler with endless ambitions. Interested by traveling, art, business, cooking and anything that spikes adrenaline.

Looking for interesting stories and intellectually stimulating conversations around a bottle of wine.

I'm a straightforward but easy going. People say that I'm nice and generous but I think it's just empathy .. empathy is the key to maintain a healthy relationship with all types of people.

I prefer being useful to people rather than pretending to be nice. I like smart people who see things differently and challenge the status quo, since there is always a good side on the hardest experience we go through.
I think I have a shiny object syndrome, I'm always interested in new disciplines and experiences since i was a kid. So I always start projects and never finish them .. which leads me to have thousands of frustrating notes .. but i'm sure one day I'll finish the ones that worth it.

I'm in love with intense solo traveling. When I was a student with not that money back then : I used to backpack and go for solo trips in the south in Morocco whenever I was down or tired, It was so releasing and fulfilling that it becomes a passion. I was in about 11 countries mostly in Europe, but I still have the whole world in my bucket list.

I was always obsessed with creating useful and intriguing content and share it with the Moroccan community. I made the first gamification crowdsourced video concept in Morocco back in 2014 and won an award of Personality of the year in Moroccan Web Awards. I worked in several Online Media companies as a Digital Transformation officer. Now I'm more focused on the solo entrepreneurship hustle.

My biggest dream is to found an academy that helps Moroccan youth become a leader and be a better version of them selfs.

Well, this was so random that we can't count it as an about me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Make the most of my trips by finding interesting locals who are ready to share their knowledge about their city and culture. Host people who are looking for the same local experience.

Having interesting talks and funny conversations.

I think it's tremendously spectacular how people can see the same subject/topic from hundreds of different perspectives. So it's really entertaining and interesting to explore this perspective continuously. That's what makes humanity grow: Collective Intelligence.
