About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Go everywhere good. Do everything good. Meet everyone good

ABOUT ME

I like to communicate with people and thanx God it's a part of my job. I like walking around the city enjoying architecture and discover something new. I am interested in beach, photo, cycling,diving.
Also I'm trying to help people and to develop civil society around me.

PHILOSOPHY

if you cant get what u like..you must love what you have
Don't expect anything from anyone. Expectations always hurt...Life is too short...So be happy and keep smiling...
Before you speak, listen!
Before you write, think!
Before you spend, earn!
Before you pray, forgive!
Before you hurt, feel!
Before you hate, love!
Before you quit, try!
Before you die, LIVE!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Enjoy showing all the nice things in my summer palce and around morocco and hope someone will do the same in their home town/country.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far but can't wait to add a few!

Interests

I love to learn. Teach me about your world. Pretty much anything you can talk about passionately will interest me. I'm particularly interested in how cultures differ — from core philosophical beliefs through to the mundane . History intrigues me, as does the near-term future. I want to know more about psychology, religion, language, time, learning, economics, law, and, well, life in general. And try to find how we can make world live in peace like one big family .

* From Franks to Ryal, divide by 5, e.g. 2000 Franks ÷ 5 = 400 Ryals = 20 DHs.
* From Franks to Dirhams, divide by 100. For example, 200 Franks ÷ 100 = 2 DHs = 40 Ryals.
