CURRENT MISSION

Conquer Hollywood !

ABOUT ME

I am a young Moroccan guy who went to grad school at UC Berkeley and moved to LA to pursue a career in film! (Go figure :D) My fiancé is a video journalist who is also obsessed with cats and ramen.

I like traveling and visiting cities around the world. I love to discuss with people about various topics and get into passionate debates! I'm always down to do new things. I could probably go to an exhibition, attend a baroque music concert and end up partying in a pub the same day.

I hate monotony and I want excitment every day, hence joining this website and this incredible community!

PHILOSOPHY

Stop dreaming, Start living !

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

After having taken advantage of this social network, I have decided it was my turn to give something back to it. I have hosted a few couchsurfers from different parts of the world and I keep bringing new members to it thanks to constant advertisment that I make for CS ! I proudly think I am at the origin of the registering of around 20 people hehe!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I already had a few experiences before I ever heard of the concept of Couchsurfing. I loved sleeping in student campuses in Bavaria (Germany) but since October 2011, I have done my official first CS experience in beautiful New York City !
Jack Shamblin and Radeeb Akhtar made it really unforgettable to me.
I also have hosted a few friends of mine and different couchsurfers since that date.
