When I was a young boy, I was an opera singer, and today... I'm a rapper 😂 surprising, isn't it ?
If I wanted to define me with on word, I'll say "passionate". And my passion is change. And to best way I've found to change is to meat different people ! That's why I'm here on Couchsurfing.
Six years ago, I met my best friend. We were totally different, opposite on every aspect of our personality. Our two only common points, we liked to talk, and we liked music, but I was an opera singer, and he was a rapper.
Two years ago we met a Syrian rapper, he had the same age as us. Sadly he'd been forced to quit his life and start a new one in France, as a refugee. We became friends. Even if we didn't speak the same language we could share ! Music helped us a lot in that process. He wrote in arabic, my best friend wrote in french, I wrote in english, and we jammed together !
Last year, we decided to create a band, a french-syrian-english hip-hop band. Each of us chose his favorite value to create our name : The AFM (Authentique, which means authentic in french, Free, and Mustakil, which means independant in syrian). We played 25 concerts since, we published our first clip #alarrache, and our first EP with five tracks. In the same time we created an association to help people from different cultures to meat and create together, thanks to music.
I'm living a dream, I don't know where it will lead us, but I'm sure we won't stop !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last year, I travelled from Paris to Spain, during three weeks, without spending any money. I had my tent in my backpack, and I raised my thumb for hitch-hiking. I stopped inside cities, to meet people, and to propose them to exchange some food with services I could give them (cleaning, cooking, teaching how to play music, how to juggle, how to walk on hands,...etc. and other fantasies). It worked ! It was wonderful to realise how people are willing to give, how open-minded they are, contrarily to what everybody told me before.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm ready to learn every thing ! sometimes it disserves me (because I always move from one thing to another), but I'm really keen on learning anything. Especially, I love learning languages ! I'd like to sing in all languages, there are interesting sounds in each of them !

I want to share my passions, my dreams, stories of people I met, my philosophy...etc.

I like to teach what know :
How to sing, how to rap, how to Beat-Box, how to play body-drums, how to improvise, how to play theater, how to organize games with a groups, and which games I consider the most connecting, how to cook french, how to juggle, how to walk on hands,...etc.
I can also teach the content of I've learned in books : how to be more effective, how to organize one's projects, how to better communicate with NVC (non-violent communication ), how to change one's habits and fears with NLP (neuro-linguistic programmation), how to relax and handle with stress (with meditation and sophrology), how to read faster and better with Speed Reading technique, how to better take notes with XMind technique, how to learn faster and more sustainably with some apps,...etc.
