About Me

I am currently traveling throughout several European cities, 3 months at a time, as part of the Erasmus Plus Master MIM program and am keen on meeting new people to exchange knowledge and share good times.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet locals who are interested in cultural exchanges, language tandems, or just pure local activities. I am available for tandems, drinks, debates, or exploring around the city, what have you.

Music, Movies, and Books

At the moment, my favorite book is Beer in the Snooker Club by Waguih Ghali.

To name a few:
Lipps Inc.: Funky Town
Charlie: Spacer Woman
Maurice Louqa: Salute the Parrot
Nina Simone: every sound that she's ever emitted
The Budos Band
The Black Keys
Nouvelle Vague
Toufic Farouk
Egyptian Project
Tinariwen
