About Me

I can't think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of most of things. Suddenly, you are five years old again. You can't read anything, you have only the most rudimentary sense of how things work, you can't even reliably cross a street without endangering your life. Your whole existence becomes a series of interesting guesses and I love it!

PHILOSOPHY

"The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page." ~St. Augustine

"A man has to travel. On your own, not through history, images, books or TV. You have to travel by yourself, by your own eyes and feet to understand what is yours. To plant one day your own trees and give them worth. Know coldness to enjoy warmth and the opposite. Feel the distance and the homelessness to be fine under your own roof. A man has to travel to unknown places to break the arrogance that make us see the world as we imagine and not as it simply is or could be; that make us professors and doctors of what we haven't seen, when we should be pupils and simply go and see."
Amyr Klink - Endless Sea

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Any one coming to Tunisia or to San Diego from any corner of the world, no matter what's her/his religion, belief or color; I would be happy to meet with her/him, invite for a drink or dinner, and share good times exploring the city.
