ABOUT ME

I enjoy big laughs and consequently try as much as I can to not dwell upon negative situations. My friends describe me as outstandingly easy-going and tolerant. I enjoy diversities in individuals within my social surroundings and actively seek it. I like to travel and explore the vast secrets of this planet. I enjoy walking, dancing, reading and cooking on my own and with people.

Interests

There are two ways of life which I've experienced living in totality so far. The last year have been a turning point where I lost all I thought I knew even the fire that fueled before was the fuel to my passions. This year was basically a reflection about how the years I lived so far have defined me. It was a series of long existentialist nights wondering around the empty streets of the city taking random photos of literally anything, or just writing all thoughts and questions that kept popping in my heads as poems or just plain ideas. Now I can proudly say that I have a decent answer that makes sense and ceases the inner conflict between the two philosophies I had lived by.

1. The first one: I've always preferred the company of books and anything my mind could feed on to any social interaction. I find joy in pursuing knowledge just for the sake of it. I imagine myself surrounded by the circle of knowledge that my life is basically trying to complete. Literature, philosophy, physiques, math, languages linguistics and anthropology, art, music .... and more. I used to read anything, and anything (it didn't matter if wrong or right) was adding to that circle. New knowledge builds upon older one, but old never made it useless. I can honestly say that readings I've done in my childhood and that I haven't quite understood then, currently make sense and I'm grateful for that.

2. I came upon a quote from a french philosopher "des lumieres" towards the end of my 15th year. It basically said that books are a good source of knowledge, but in order to understand to fully get what one pursues, one must travel and let the road guide his learning. That year I moved out of Morocco and started a completely extraverted life. Books weren't what much I craved then, but people in all their diversity. It was crazy and wow what a ride , I never even thought I could be the kind person I became and the one I'm now. My readings as different as they were along with these new experiences opened up my eyes to see the world in all its beauty.

To make it short: Knowledge, experience and I are walking down the road that my life has suggested and trying to live every second of that journey feeding that purpose. I was lost because I separated those two persons I was, but they are essentially seeking the same thing just in different ways. And now no more inner existential conflict ... (maybe in few years it'll change but I'm cool with that :p )

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volunteering 3 times in different places doing different things. I never felt as fulfilled by doing something as I was when volunteering. It was traveling learning discovering adventure culture and people... But also being useful which made traveling more purposeful than before.

Leaving my home ( parents, friends, language, everything) and starting my own journey traveling to new lands, different families, new languages which enabled me to build on my passion in life young enough to get the influence i needed for the life I seek :).
