I grew up in Morocco then graduated from my Masters degree in fine arts in France. Working mainly on sound/music and its impact in various fields, anything related to this subject can easily draw my attention.

If I'm not holding my recorder/camera, editing or getting lost in music, I'm trying my best to travel. I always enjoy meeting new people from different countries: probably the reason why I always liked CS and youth hostels.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Discovered CS in 2011 and tried to host as many surfers as I could since then. I love the experience and I keep great memories from all the moments I've shared with hosts/surfers.

Interests

I'm a huge music fan so I can talk about this topic for hours. I'm curious about people's playlists and the instruments they play.
I also love travelling and what you can keep from these short moments you live on the way.
If not, the morning coffee feeling the cold morning breeze in a calm place is a little heaven I sometimes like to share =)
