I have recently got my master's in bioscience engineering, being an end to a 5 year long journey. One of the hardest things I've ever done really! But totally worth it. I love science and I'm specialized in food science and nutrition, so you can basically discuss anything with me that involves the topic of food. Funny thing: cooking is not on that list. I'm pretty adventurous and I'm a really curious person, meaning I will try anything once (happy to!) and if you mention something I don't know about, I will ask you all the questions. I love laughing. Laughing is pretty much the reason I'll keep living. Quote that gets me: "I just want to spend the rest of my life laughing." Greatest drug out there, really. I was born and grew up in Belgium; my parents are Moroccan. I'm from Antwerp, but I moved to little Ghent 2 years ago, really fell in love with that city. I can say without hesitation that it's the most beautiful city in Belgium. If you'd ever visit, I'd love to show you around!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting all kinds of people all over the world. I love what the locals can teach me, the stories they tell, the charm of the little things in a person's home. The warmth of being welcome somewhere without knowing them is one of the best things.

Interests

I love discovering new things, meeting people. Besides science I like comedy, I like to draw (human portraits), I love dancing, pretty much any style (I've been following and mimicking Beyoncé's choreo since 2004, haha), singing. Also swimming and biking; I try to bike as much as possible while traveling around.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to all kinds of music, but I need to mention that I'm a huge Parliament-Funkadelic fan (the George Clinton cover of Motor Booty Affair is the reason I'm alive). I needz the funk. Oh and disco! I love disco, Donna Summer being one of my favorites. Favorite artists: Stevie Wonder, Prince, BB King, Fela Kuti,... Favorite bands: The Doors, The Velvet Underground, NERD,...
