About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Spreading my stories and finding new ones.

ABOUT ME

Travelling is the most important experience one can do. Eihter fisically or mentally, I try not to stop travelling. And of course, meeting new peolple is the noblest part of it, human beings are not suppose to get stuck!

PHILOSOPHY

Try not to stop at the surface of things...and try not to trust simple explanations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Establish suond relations with hosts and guests: doing the best in the small time we share together.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This website is one of the gratest discoveries I made on Internet: it has never been easier to meet interesting people all aver the world in such a short time!

Interests

I love putting myself in different situations, trying to figure out how different life can be from one place to another, and from one mentality to another. But more concretely I love reading, eating new food, cross country skiing (I'm an instructor!), travelling by bike, photography and watching my nieces on Skype (couse thy're so far away...)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Jack London.
Movies: I like everything from Kubrik and Herzog, but what really satisfies me are documentaries.
Music: electronic, arabic, instrumental in general

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling by bike and on foot. Going to sleep without having eaten the whole day, doing one film from the beginning to the end, seing the tears on the face of the public after the screening.

Besides that? Crossing remote lands by bike. An example:
