CURRENT MISSION

After living in Morocco, Mexico and then 2 years in France, I now just arrived to Rio de Janeiro where I will live for the 4 coming months. I'm really curious about the brazilian culture especially music, food and drinks :)
What I want to achieve beyond all is a good level of portuguese. So if you like tchating, playing music and helping people "melhorar seu portuguese", it would be great !

ABOUT ME

I am a moroccan architect involved in new studies (Urbanism) in Paris. Joyfull and curious about new things and always willing to discover new cultures and new places. Easy to talk to about all the subjects since I love to know other people's visions of the world.

PHILOSOPHY

" En voyageant, j'ai compris que l'homme libre était nomade" J. Brel

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

What I like most in CS is meeting people all around the world and giving a brief view of my culture (history, music, food). I would be also glad to host people and show them my city and my country

Interests

I love architecture (which is my backround), I like music as well (I play drum and derbouka and started to learn guitare). I also like football (soccer), reading, history and as a convivial person I like hanging out, partying and discovering new places and new people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- La tyrolienne du diable : this Yodel located near Aussois in France is considered as the longest in the world and among the highests.

- The moroccan desert tour : This tour is a journey made on camels around the desert and within a week more or less, it makes you get lost in the middle of sand dunes and enjoy tremendous sunrise and sunset.

- Living in Mexico

Teach, Learn, Share

- Teach : I can share with the couchsurfers some concepts of architecture (which is my backgroung) and history (my biggest passion). I can also help them improve their langues by practising French, english and Arabic. I would be also glad to tell them more about my culture.
- Learn : I would be glad to practise and improve my spanish. Furthermore, since I love music and do drum and djembe, I also started learning guitare 2 months ago, I would be happy meet musicians for freestyle sessions and improve my guitare skills.
