Hey 👋

Please read my Home Section before sending a request :)

- Have a look on my public trips section, I'll be frequently out of town next weeks so unfortunately I wouldn't be able to host you, my cat would haha but she hasn't learned yet how to open the door to couchsurfers haha

- Maybe by having a look on my upcoming trips, you'll notice that I'm visiting your city, so don't hesitate to text me through couchsurfing or Instagram. I'll be glad to meet you!

Keep in mind that sending a request more than two weeks before your stay is fully useless. I'm almost never sure about my availabilities for the next 10 days++ ;)

I would decline the request if it is a "Sent to All" and if you don't provide the "password" I put for you in my home section 😉

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Travelers are mostly open minded. They want to discover and learn with locals. So it's always a good opportunity to couchsurf and spend great time with lovely people

Centres d'intérêt

Listening to jazz music, sharing travel experiences, reading, discovering history and local food of each country I visit, visiting museums, meeting new people, always

I’m passionate about Wine ! My favorite one is Château Mukhrani (Georgian wine). Btw it was Staline’s favorite wine. Am I proud of that?

I am also very interested in photography.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Indie rock and jazz. My favorites artists are: Dhafer Youssef, Bachar Mar Khalifé, Luna Abu Nassar, Anouar Brahem, Cigs after sex, Billie Ilish and Hindi Zahra. (Actually it's a long list. I can't give all my musical preferences here)

I am a big fan of Quentin Tarantino's movies.

I was amazed by 'The stranger' of Albert Camus. Now I am reading some arabic literature. My favorite poet is Aboû Nouwâs. For me, he is the most talented classical Arabic poet. I enjoy reading poetry of Hafez, Saadi, Shahab al-Din Sohrawardi and Hallaj as well.

If you want to impress me, talk to me about ‘The Unbearable Lightness of Being’ 💫

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Every journey is an opportunity to live amazing and unexpected experiences. So I can’t just choose only one experience 😁

- My trip to Georgia, intense and unforgettable. This caucasian country is impressive by its history, wine culture, old brutalist-communist buildings.

- Choosing Istanbul to do my Erasmus exchange semester. It was the best part of my student life. Now I feel a strong connection with Turkey, its culture. I can’t spend a year without visiting Istanbul

- Doing hitchhiking in Cyprus with my dutch flatmate Rogier. I was afraid in the beginning, but all my fears disappeared once the guy who drove us began to sing old Cypriote songs 😆

- Visiting Persepolis with Iranian army. It sounds weird but yes I was a privileged man visiting the ancient city of Persepolis with three Iranian soldiers. Now they became my friends. Sometimes, don’t try to find answers to the unexpected things that happen to you, just enjoy them 😊

- Singing arabic traditional music and cooking moroccan food (Chicken and olives Tagine) to my Iranian friends in Mashhad (Iran) 👨‍🍳

- Doing la route des vins (Wine road) from Tours to Nantes 🍇

- Join a theatre school in Paris. It sounds cliché I know 😆 I enjoyed so much learning Acting with great people. We played our piece inspired by FESTEN the movie on June, 2019. Unforgettable and overwhelming experience!!

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I can teach you arabic and french, those magnificent languages and sing some famous arabic songs. I will ask you to teach me some basic words from your language. Keep sharing!!!

I can also cook some moroccan dishes. You'll be amazed by its taste.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I can share my cultural knowledge, talk to you about my last journeys. I can also help in everything. I love cooking and discussing about politics, history and social mutations of the country I visit. Or we can just have a drink and enjoy the sunset time 😉
