About Me

" I was a petty thief, I wanted the whole world or nothing" -Charles Bukowski.

I go around the same lines. I am literature oriented, I work in the cultural field, I translate, I write, and I like to live my life at its most intense.

I like cooking and food tasting, a big fan of reinterpretations in recipes, baking, brewing coffee, making things from scratch, love spending time in kitchens, and pretty much sure food is the essence of culture.

I love listening to music, going to the theatre, or movies, into anything that takes the form of art, in each and every aspect.

Love to try new things, very much interested in the process of cultural integration because it enriches people, hence, I try to always travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourites are great declarations.

I am open to all genres in every field, however, I a big fan of music with a bold identity and flavour, art does not have to have w message, however, we should feel it violently or most tenderly.

Into art that is intertwined with other fields, and I think life is the biggest inspiration for any artist, in its most simplest form or the most intense.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have played the djembe all night to my dancing friends on the ocean in Essaouira, Maroc.

I pretty sure made a smile at me.
