Hello / Azul / Bonjour / Yassos,

French Moroccan (Amazigh) born traveller with tendencies to book last minute flights when i find a good deal.

I speak native French, English, Sarcasm, Moroccan Arabic (Darija) and pure Arabic (yes there is a difference, the reason why middle easterners can’t understand us North Africans, but we can the other way around !)

i am an IT Procurement expert and a volunteer Fireman in Paris suburbs.

I’m curious about other cultures, cities, culinary experiences (especially !) and many other things.

My philosophy : Chill, don’t be a douche, and mind your business.

One of my objectives at the moment is to make acquaintances here and there before I plan to travel to a city of my choice, you can see it as opening cultural embassies and creating a trustworthy network for visiting a country through a local eyes and make travelling more pleasant, culturally rich ans more affordable !

So don’t be surprised if you receive a friend request, it’s not random :)

As for myself, I shall be your host and liaison in Paris ! 🇫🇷!

I want to start with North and South America, this distant continent I only see in movies, before another lockdown.

I’ll be pleased to make your acquaintance !

First note : Since I don’t have any références yet, feel free to see the two last pictures of my Airbnb’s references 😅

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's always interesting to meet new folks, making friends and creating new good memories !

As we are going toward a more nomad work life style, I want to get the chance to try a flat swapping system, to home office from any given cities for few days or juuust during certain festivals and events ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is like a vital function to me like breathing, I rarely leave my Marshall headphones alone through the day, as I let the musical frequencies vibrate me through the day !

50% Rock of all genre (my all time main playlist)
25% RnB
24% House Electro Synth Pop Funk Soul etc…
1% Random discoveries and track I keep listening to for days

Sample of my favorite artists : Sabaton, Korpiklaani, Anthrax, Metallica. Dance with the Dead, Rihana, Our Last Night, Pentatonix, Scandroid, BREAKING BENJAMINS!!!, the Offspring, Nightwish, Soilwork, Green Day, Wolfmother…

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Assisting a woman going into labor and delivery, then, holding and protecting the newborn baby and watching him opening his eyes for the first time and looking straight at me :D

Teach, Learn, Share

I guess I could teach you some French, Pure Arabic and Darija. Just the minimum requirement in case you get lost in a French or Arabic speaking country 🤣

I also like playing board games, especially chess ♟!
